Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words

Depose:

lit. signifies "to take down" (kata, "down," haireo, "to take"), the technical term for "removing a body after crucifixion," e.g., Mar 15:36; hence, "to pull down, demolish;" in Act 19:27, according to the most authentic mss., the translation is (as the RV) "that she (Diana) should even be deposed from her magnificence" (possibly, in the partitive sense of the genitive, "destroyed from, or diminished in, somewhat of her magnificence").
See CAST, DESTROY, PULL, PUT, TAKE (down).
