to throw/lay down
rhipto describes casting objects or people away, down, or into a specified place, and can depict a cast-down condition.
The occurrences chiefly show an active act of casting objects or people into, toward, over, or down at a location: dust is flung into the air, ship equipment goes overboard, anchors are cast from the stern, and people or money are cast down or toward a place. One perfect passive participle describes crowds in a condition the APB presents as harassed and helpless.

Casting something or someone to a place · dominant
Active forms describe directed acts of casting: in Acts 27:19 the APB renders ship gear being thrown overboard, and in Acts 27:29 it renders four anchors being thrown from the stern. The same action is shown with dust flung into the air in Acts 22:23, a person thrown into the sea in Luke 17:2, a demon throwing someone down in Luke 4:35, people put at Jesus' feet in Matthew 15:30, and money thrown toward the temple in Matthew 27:5.

Being cast down in a helpless condition · rare
In Matthew 9:36, the perfect passive participle describes the crowds in the clause that the APB renders as being “harassed and helpless,” followed by the comparison to sheep without a shepherd. The translation does not isolate the term's exact English contribution, but the passive form presents the crowds as acted upon rather than casting something themselves.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “throwing,” “flinging,” “threw,” “thrown,” and “laid them down” across the active clauses. In Matthew 9:36 it instead renders the surrounding passive description as “harassed and helpless”; That wording cannot identify a precise one-word rendering of the term.
