Strong’s Greek Lexicon
probably from the same as G4171, or perhaps from G4183; a town (properly, with walls, of greater or less size):—city.
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.
