The verb is common in the sense of ";resign"; property, etc., e. g. P Oxy II. 268.11 (A.D. 58) ἡ δὲ Ὠφελοὺς καὶ αὐ [τὴ ]ι ̣ ἐξέσταται τῶι Ἀντιφάνει τοῦ κατ᾽ αὐτὴν μ [έ ]ρους τῶν ὑπὸ τοῦ μετηλλαχότος αὐτῆς πατρὸς Ἡρακλᾶτος ἀπολελιμμένων πάντων, ";and Ophelous on her part resigns to Antiphanes her share of all the property left by her late father Heraclas"; (Edd.), P Tebt II. 380.19 (A.D. 67), P Ryl II. 75.6, .10, .16 (late ii/A.D.), ib. 117.22 (A.D. 269) al. Ἐξέστην occurs in BGU IV. 1208.87 (B.C. 27) : cf. also ib. II. 530.18 (i/A.D.)
