Concise Bible Dictionary:
The Greek word is θύϊνος, and occurs in Revelation 18:12 only, as being brought to apostate Babylon. It was doubtless some wood used for decorative purposes, and is supposed to be identified with the callitris quadrivalvis. It was the wood called by the Romans citrum, of which expensive articles were made. It is “sweet wood” in the margin.
Strong’s Dictionary of Greek Words:
Meaning:
from a derivative of 2380 (in the sense of blowing; denoting a certain fragrant tree); made of citron-wood
