Strong’s Greek Lexicon
neuter of a presumed derivative of G2768; something horned, i.e. (specially) the pod of the carob-tree:—husk.
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 little horn
2) the name of the fruit, Ceratonia silqua or carobtree (called also John’s Bread [from the notion that its pods, which resemble those of the “locust”, constituted the food of the Baptist]. This fruit was shaped like a horn and has a sweet taste; it was and is used not only for fattening swine, but as an article of food by the lower classes.
