Strong’s Greek Lexicon

from G2300; a place for public show (“theatre”), i.e. general audience-room; by implication, a show itself (figuratively):—spectacle, theatre.

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.

Thayer’s Greek Definitions

1) a theatre, a place in which games and dramatic spectacles are exhibited, and public assemblies held (for the Greeks used the theatre also as a forum)
2) a public show
2a) metaphorically, a man who is exhibited to be gazed at and made sport of
