The Greeks used the term Planitis πλανήτης is where we get the word planet but the Greeks would not use it in refference to the earth because that Greek word Planitis means "wondering star" even when not accompanied by the Greek word star ἀστήρ~ aster.

We do find πλανήτης planetes in the Bible

Jude 1:13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

But it is used as a metaphore because it is from πλάνος planos which appears as deceiver 4 times and seducing once.

The earth did not fit that description unless they thought of it traveling around the sum. The wondering meant it did not follow the ecliptic like the other stars because they had their own orbits and retrogrades. This alternate path caused them to be called "wandering".

If they wanted to use a word to describe the planet earth which they walked upon and inhabited with the rest of living things they would use gi or ge.
