Strong’s Greek Lexicon
neuter of a derivative of G5228; a higher part of the house, i.e. apartment in the third story:—upper chamber (room).
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.
