To my ear 'dismissed' wouldn't work, since you can only dismiss (in the sense of 'send away') a _person_ in English, not other things like money, letters, messages or the like. (in the sense of 'reject' you can also dismiss a theory, opinion or report)

I think I remember seeing the word in the Udenavatthu in Dhp-a referring to a bird spreading its wings. However I suspect it's fairly rare in Pali. I'd probably just go with something simple that fits the context and is plausible like 'spent', 'given', 'given away', 'donated' or 'distributed', and maybe leave a note in the margin that this is a word to look more closely at later.

best regards,
