For the common Bibl. meaning ";commission,"; ";send forth,"; cf. OGIS 90.20 (Rosetta stone—B.C. 196) προενοήθη δὲ καὶ ὅπως ἐξαποσταλῶσιν δυνάμεις ἱππικαί τε καὶ πεζικαί, Syll 276.19 (a plebiscite of the Lampsacenes—B.C. 196) ὁ δῆμος τοῦ Ῥωμαίων δήμου ἐξαπέσ [τει ]λεν αὐτούς, ib. 295.8 (a decree found at Delphi—c.
