2 وَقَّعَ فِى الكِتَابِ ذ , (MA, TA,) inf. n. تَوْقِيعٌ, (KL, TA,) [as commonly used in the present day,] He signed the writing [for the purpose of giving effect to it, either beneath, or by endorsing it]: (MA, KL:) [but as generally used in earlier, though post-classical, times,] he annexed to the writing, after it had been finished, for the Sultán or the administrator of affairs, to whom it had been submitted, something [for the purpose of giving effect thereto]; as, for instance, when a complaint is submitted to the Sultán or to the administrator, and one writes beneath the writing or on the back thereof, “ Let the affair, or case, of this person be looked into, and let his right, or due, be fully exacted for this person: ” or, accord. to Az, he wrote, upon the writing, a concise abstract, omitting redundances, of the objects of want [petitioned for therein]: from تَوْقِيعُ الدَّبَرِ ظَهْرَ البَعِيرِ [“ the gall's, or sore's, marking the back of the camel ”]; as though the مُوَقِّع upon the writing marked, upon the case respecting which the writing was written, that which confirmed it, and rendered its execution obligatory: (TA:) تَوْقِيعٌ also signifies such a writing itself (مَا يُوَقَّعُ فِى كِتَابٍِ; S, K, TA;) and its pl. is تَوْقِيعَاتٌ: (TA:) it is said to be an Islámic term; not old Arabic. (TA.) [Also He made an entry of a note or postil or the like, or entries of notes, &c., in the writing, or book: see an ex. voce ضِعْف. ― -b2- وقّع بِهِ He blamed him; reproved him angrily, or severely.
