Below are articles from the following dictionary:
Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
1 Strong's Number: g4686 Greek: speira

Band:

primarily "anything round," and so "whatever might be wrapped round a thing, a twisted rope," came to mean "a body of men at arms," and was the equivalent of the Roman manipulus. It was also used for a larger body of men, a cohort, about 600 infantry, commanded by a tribune. It is confined to its military sense. See, e.g., Mat 27:27, and corresponding passages.

2 Strong's Number: g1199 Greek: desmos

Band:

"a band, fetter, anything for tying" (from deo, "to bind, fasten with chains, etc."), is sometimes translated "band," sometimes "bond;" "bands," in Luk 8:29; Act 16:26; 22:30, AV only. In the case of the deaf man who had an impediment in his speech, whom the Lord took aside, Mar 7:35, the AV says "the string of his tongue was loosed;" the RV, more literally, "the bond of his tongue."
See BOND, CHAIN, STRING.

3 Strong's Number: g4886 Greek: sundesmos

Band:

an intensive form of No. 2, denoting "that which binds firmly together," is used metaphorically of the joints and bands of the mystic Body of Christ, Col 2:19; otherwise in the following phrases, "the bond of iniquity," Act 8:23; "the bond of peace," Eph 4:3; "the bond of perfectness," Col 3:14.
See BOND.

4 Strong's Number: g2202 Greek: zeukteria

Band:

"a bond" (connected with zugos, "a yoke"), is found once, of the rudder band of a ship, Act 27:40.
