ACT 9:34

1 It is possible to argue that στρώννυμι (and the corresponding form στρωννύω) has only the base meaning to spread something out (as in MAT 21:8; see 16.22), but this term seems to be used in an absolute sense in rather highly diverse contexts, and therefore one is justified in setting up more than one distinct meaning.
