1. to throw or toss up.
2. to put back or off, delay, postpone (very often in Greek writings); in this sense also in middle (properly, to defer for oneself): τινα, to hold back, delay; in a forensic sense to put off anyone (Latinampilare, Cicero, Verr. Act 2:1-47; Act 1:1-26; Act 9:1-43 § 26) i. e. to defer heaving and deciding (adjourn) anyone’s case: Act 24:22; cf. Kypke (or Wetstein (1752)) at the passage.
