(Strong's #4323 — Verb — prosanatithemi — pros-an-at-ith'-ay-mee )

lit., "to put before" (pros, "towards," ana, "up," and tithemi, "to put"), i.e., "to lay a matter before others so as to obtain counsel or instruction," is used of Paul's refraining from consulting human beings, Galatians 1:16 (translated "imparted" in Galatians 2:6; AV, "added ... in conference").
