In Acts 22:25, the aorist active indicative plural form occurs in the action done to Paul before the question about whipping an uncondemned Roman. The APB renders the clause, "they stretched him out to the leather straps," confirming an outward physical extension in that scene.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Acts 22:25, the APB presents the action as "they stretched him out to the leather straps." This rendering identifies the clause's overall action rather than a precise English equivalent for the form.
