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.

"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.
