Philostratus,
Life of Apollonius of Tyana 4.39. [NB: while this quotation does illustrate
a)nabalo/menos in the sense identified, it could in other circumstances exemplify the 'defer/postpone' sense also. Witness e.g. the remark attributed to Alexander the Great when asked how he had achieved so much:
mhde\n a)nabalo/menos.]
