Thayer's Expanded Definition

ἀναβάλλω: 2 aorist middle ἀνεβαλόμην;

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, 9 § 26) i. e. to defer heaving and deciding (adjourn) anyone's case: Acts 24:22; cf. Kypke (or Wetstein (1752)) at the passage.

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἀναβάλλω, in something like the forensic sense ";defer"; a case, occurs in P Tebt I. 22.9 (B.C. 112) ἀναβαλλόμενος εἰς τὸν φυλακίτην, ";referring the matter to the inspector"; : cf. P Par 66.71 (i/B.C.) ὧν τὰ ἔργα ἀναβάλουσιν (l. -λλ -), ";whose work is postponed."; Elsewhere it is generally = ";cast up"; or ";send back"; : in Ostr 1154 (Rom.) ἀναβαλεῖν τὰ ἱμάτιά σου appears to be used of the ";setting up"; of a weaver’s warp. Cf. P Giss I. 20.16 ff. (ii/A.D.) ει ̣ς ̣ θέλεις ἀναβληθῆναί σ [ου τ ]ὴν ἰσχνὴν ̣ [λε ]υκ ̣ὴν στολήν, φρόντισον τῆς πορφύρας. In Ostr 1399 (A.D. 67–8) ἀνεβ (άλετε) εἰς τὸ κενὸν (l. καινὸν) χῶ (μα) ναύβ (ια) δέκα πέντε, 1567 (A.D. 105) ἀναβ (εβλήκατε) εἰς χῶ (μα) Ἀθην (αίων) ν (αύβιον) (ἥμισυ), it may mean ";throw up,"; of a measure of earth excavated (cf. Mahaffy Petrie Papyri, III. p. 344) : this is a return to its most primitive sense—cf. Syll 587.185 (B.C. 329–8) τέκτοσιν τοῖς ἀναβαλοῦσιν τὰς πλίνθους. Another physical sense appears in P Flor II. 233.8 (A.D. 263), where Comparetti renders ἵνα. . . [ἀ ]ναβληθῶσι ";‘vi si adattino’ (le spalliere)."; The verb is MGr. The expressive compd. διαναβάλλομαι ";procrastinate"; occurs P Tebt I. 50.27 (B.C. 112–1).
