Strong’s Greek Lexicon

of Latin origin; the praetorium or governor’s court-room (sometimes including the whole edifice and camp):—(common, judgment) hall (of judgment), palace, praetorium.

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) “head-quarters” in a Roman camp, the tent of the commander-in-chief
2) the palace in which the governor or procurator of a province resided, to which use the Romans were accustomed to appropriate the palaces already existing, and formerly dwelt in by kings or princes; at Jerusalem it was a magnificent palace which Herod the Great had built for himself, and which the Roman procurators seemed to have occupied whenever they came from Caesarea to Jerusalem to transact public business
3) the camp of the Praetorian soldiers established by Tiberius
