def.2 He made good and large [or liberal]: so in the phrase, اجمل الصَّنِيعَةَ He made the benefit good and large [or liberal] عِنْدَ فُلَانٍ [to such a one].

def.3 [He acted with goodness, or was good and liberal: and he acted with moderation, or was moderate. You say,] اجمل فِى صَنِيعِهِ [He was good and liberal, or, perhaps, moderate, in his benefit]. And اجمل فِى الطَّلَبِ He was moderate, not extravagant, in demanding, or desire.
