Strong’s Greek Lexicon

feminine participle present passive of G3611 (as noun, by implication of G1093); land, i.e. the (terrene part of the) globe; specifically, the Roman empire:—earth, world.

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.
