(Strong's #795 — Verb — astocheo — as-tokh-eh'-o )

"to miss the mark," is translated "having swerved" in 1 Timothy 1:6 . See ERR , No. 3. Moulton and Milligan illustrate the use of the verb from the papyri, e.g., of a man in extravagant terms bewailing the loss of a pet fighting cock, "(I am distraught, for my cock) has failed (me)."
