πραιτώριον G4232
Praetorium (Roman governor's residence or military headquarters)
Senses
1. Praetorium (Roman governor's residence or military headquarters) — The Roman governor's official residence or military headquarters, used in the Gospels for Pilate's palace and in Philippians for the imperial guard's quarters. All multilingual evidence converges on a single referent: Spanish 'pretorio,' Arabic 'dār al-wilāya' (house of the governorship), Korean '관저' (official residence), Swahili 'ikulu/ukumbi wa mtawala' (ruler's hall), Hindi 'प्राइटोरियम/रकशभवन' (guard-house). The two clusters differ only in grammatical case (accusative/dative vs nominative) with no semantic distinction whatsoever. 8×
