Strong’s Greek Lexicon
of Latin origin; properly, an enrollment (“census”), i.e. (by implication) a tax:—tribute.
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) census (among the Romans, denoting a register and valuation of property in accordance with which taxes were paid), in the NT the tax or tribute levied on individuals and to be paid yearly. (our capitation or poll tax)
2) the coin with which the tax is paid, tribute money
