Exegesis
The aorist active participle parangeilas {παραγγείλας | paranggeílas} “having instructed” is nominative masculine singular, agreeing with khiliarkhos and forming a circumstantial participle that denotes action prior to the main verb: the tribune first gave orders, then released him.
In context — Acts 23:22
So the tribune released the young man, after instructing him to tell no one that you have made these things known to me.
