Strong’s Greek Lexicon
from a provincial form of G5342 and G3529; victorious; Bernice, a member of the Herodian family:—Bernice.
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.
