Dear all,

My printed Strong's is a facsimile of the original Strong's Exhaustive Concordance with dictionaries, it being the Thirty First printing, 1973, of the First Edition, printed 1894, printed by Abingdon Press, Nashville.

My printed Strong's says 2992, not 2994.

2992 is LAOS, which makes sense for NIKOS + LAOS = NIKOLAOS, wheres 2994 is LAODIKEU/S, which has too many morphemes to be a good fit.

I have corrected my repository of Strong's Real Greek. Please ask me directly for a copy if you are interested.

3532 Nikolaos nik-ol'-ah-os from 3534 and *2994*; victorious over the
people; Nicolaus, a heretic:--Nicolaus. see GREEK for 3534 see GREEK for
*2994*
*The reference 2994 should read 2992*
OK, here's a fun conflict for us all.

My print Strong's actually shows that 3532 refs 3534 and 2994.  So that
module, as well as my StrongsRealGreek, are true to print Strong's.

On the other hand, NAS Greek Lexicon shows refs 3534 and 2992.

I have to suggest that real Strong's has an actual misprint error, and
that NAS has corrected this.  2992 seems clearly correct here.

What should be done with this?  Remain true to what originally appeared
in Strong's or correct it per NAS?  Perhaps correct it with a notation
of the original error?

I hardly know what to do with the difference in definitional commentary.

Strong's:
     "Nicolaus, a heretic"
NAS:
     "Nicolaus, a Christian, probably not connected with the sect
     bearing the same name"
