Strong’s Greek Lexicon
from G3816 and a reduplicated form of G71; a boy-leader, i.e. a servant whose office it was to take the children to school; (by implication [figuratively] a tutor [“paedagogue”]):—instructor, schoolmaster.
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 tutor, i.e. a guardian and guide of boys. Among the Greeks and the Romans the name was applied to trustworthy slaves who were charged with the duty of supervising the life and morals of boys belonging to the better class. The boys were not allowed so much as to step out of the house without them before arriving at the age of manhood.
