Strong’s Greek Lexicon
from a compound of G1909 and G757 (meaning a governor of a district, “eparch”); a special region of government, i.e. a Roman praefecture:—province.
Owing to changes in the enumeration while in progress, there were no words left for numbers 2717 and 3203–3302, which were therefore silently dropped out of the vocabulary and references as redundant.
