ἐπιγράφω. The use of the subst. for a ‘‘special impost’’ (see s.v. ἐπιγραφή) is supported by the verb in P Tebt I. 48% (c. B.c. 113) where reference is made to certain supplies of wheat ‘imposed ’’ in view of the approaching visit of King Soter 11.--τὴν ἐπιγεγραμμένην πρὸς τὴν τοῦ βασίλεως παρουσίαν ἀγορὰν (πυροῦ) (ἀρταβῶν) 7: cf. P Hib I. 445 (B.c. 253) of compulsory labour. The verb is also used of any one ‘appointed to”’ or ‘‘set apart for’’ an office, as P Oxy 11. 2515" (A.D. 44) ἐπιγέγραμμαι αὐτῆς κύριος, P Tebt II. 380%! (A.D. 67) ὑπογραφεῖς τῆς «Θ -- ομμοῦτο(ς) -- καὶ τοῦ > ἔπιγραψ -αμ:-ένου αὐτῆς κυρίου Λυσᾶς κτλ., ‘the signatories for Thommous and her appointed guardian are Lysas, etc.’’: so 26. 3972” 25 (A.p. 198). Similarly of the witnesses entered in an act, as e.g. Petr II. 21(d)? ἐπε]ὶ ἐπεγράφην μάρτυς ἐπὶ συγγραφῆ[ι. For the general sense ‘direct’ see P Ryl II. 153 (A.D. 138-61) ἐπέγραψα δὲ EvSa(pove . . . γράψαι ὑπὲρ ἐμοί] τῆς ὑπογραφῆς τὸ σῶμα διὰ τὴν περὶ ἐμὲ ἀσθενίαν, “1 have directed Eudaemon . . . to write for me the body of the subscription on account of my illness’’ (Edd.). The meaning ‘‘inscribe,”” as in Ac 17%, is found P Oxy VI. 88616 (a magical formula—iii/a.D.) (= Selections, p. 111) ἐπίγρ(αψον) ἐν ἑκάστῳ τῶν φύλλων τὰ τῶν θεῶν ὀνόματα.
