Strong’s Greek Lexicon
neuter of a presumed derivative of the same as G3795; rations for a soldier, i.e. (by extension) his stipend or pay:—wages.
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.
