[B-Greek] THEION/THEIOO

Thayer's offers this definition for THEION: "divine incense, because burning brimstone was regarded as having power to purify, and to ward off disease"
   
  This definition seems to have support in the 1897 edition of the Liddell and Scott Greek-English Lexicon which defines the verb THEIOO thus: "to hallow, to make divine, or to dedicate to a god"
   
  Strong's doesn't offer the gloss that Thayer's does, and so I am wondering if these definitions are viable.
   
  Thanks in advance.
