Strong’s Greek Lexicon
as if from ξεω xeo (properly, to smooth; by implication [of friction] to boil or heat); a vessel (as fashioned or for cooking) [or perhaps by corruption from the Latin sextarius, the sixth of a modius, i.e. about a pint], i.e. (specifically) a measure for liquids or solids, (by analogy, a pitcher):—pot.
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 sextarius
1a) a vessel for measuring liquids, holding about a pint (.5 litre)
2) a wooden pitcher or ewer from which water or wine is poured, whether holding a sextarius or not
