P Petr II. 40(a).15 (iii/B.C.) (= Witkowski.2, p. 41) ἑτοιμάζεται γὰρ ἡ διαδοχή, ";the relief is being equipped,"; P Lille I. 26.4 (iii/B.C.) τὴν δὲ λοιπὴν γ [ῆν ἑτο ]ι ̣μάζω, of preparing land by cultivation, PSI IV. 434.17 (B.C. 261–0) ἑτοιμάζονται θηρεύειν, P Hib I. 47.23 (B.C. 256) καὶ ὄλυραν δὲ κ [αὶ κρ ]ιθὴν ἑτοίμαζε ἵνα [παραμ ]ε ̣τ ̣ρ ̣η ̣σωμεν εἰς τὸ βασιλικόν, ";prepare both olyra and barley in order that we may measure it to the State"; (Edd.). The verb is almost a t.t. for preparations in view of an approaching visit, e.g. P Tebt II. 592 (iii/A.D.) ἐπισ [τολ ]ήν σοι ἔπεμψα ὡς σοῦ ταχὺ ἐρχομέν [ο ]υ καὶ ἑτοιμάκιν (l. ἡτοιμάκειν) σοι πάντα, P Oxy X. 1299.9 (iv/A.D) ἑτυμάσο αὐτὼ (l. ἑτοιμάσω αὐτὸ) ἕως ἔρχῃ, ";I will prepare it for your coming"; (Edd.), ib.

We have an instance of dropped augment in P Grenf II. 14(b).1 (B.C. 264 or 227) ἑτοιμάκαμεν ἐπὶ τὴν παρουσίαν τὴν Χρυσίππου : in BGU III. 830.18 (i/A.D.) χρ ]ὴ οὖν ἑτοιμάσ [ε ]ιν καὶ προαιρ [εῖν, we should have expected either the pres. or aor. inf. for the future. The verb is current in MGr.
