Strong’s Greek Lexicon

from a presumed derivative of G3506; to nod, i.e. (by implication) to fall asleep; figuratively, to delay:—slumber.

Owing to changes in the enumeration while in progress, there were no words left for numbers 2717 and 3203–3302, which were therefore silently dropped out of the vocabulary and references as redundant.

Thayer’s Greek Definitions

1) to nod in sleep, to sleep
1a) to be overcome or oppressed with sleep
1b) to fall asleep, drop off to sleep
2) to be negligent, careless
2a) of a thing, i.e. to linger, delay
