παραγγέλλω is common in Ptolemaic papyri to describe the official summons before a court, e.g. P Par 4617 (B.C. 153) (= UPZ i. p. 338) γέγραφά σοι, ὅπω [ς ] Ἀπολλωνίωι παραγγείληις, P Grenf I. 40.6 (ii/B.C.) (= Chrest. II. p. 21) ἔκρινον γράψαι σοι ὅπως εἰδὼς παραγγείλης καὶ τ [οῖς ] ἄλλοις ἱερεῦσι ἑτοίμους εἶναι, and P Tebt I. 14.5 (B.C. 114) ἔγραψας ἡμῖν Ἡρᾶν (l. Ἡρᾶτι) . . . εὐθυνομένωι δὲ φόνωι καὶ ἄλλαις αἰτία <ι >ς παραγγεῖλαι ἀπαντᾶν ἐν ἡμέραι <ς > τρισὶν πρὸς τὴν περὶ τούτων ἐσομένην διεξαγωγήν, ";you wrote to me that I was to give notice to Heras who is arraigned for murder and other offences to appear in three days’ time for the decision to be made concerning these charges"; (Edd.).
Miscellaneous uses of the verb are—P Amh II. 30.40 (ii/B.C.) παρηγγείλαμεν τῆι Θεμβῶτος (l. Θεμβῶτι) ἐκχωρεῖν ἐκ τῆς οἰκίας, ";we ordered Thembos to depart out of the house,"; P Tebt II. 386.22 (B.C. 12) ἐν ἡμέραις τριάκοντα ἀφ᾽ ἧς ἐάν μοι παρανγίλῃ, ";within thirty days from the day on which you give me notice,"; with reference to the repayment of a dowry following on a deed of divorce, P Ryl II. 81.9 (c.
