Exegesis
The participle paranggeilas {παραγγείλας | pa-rang-geí-las} functions circumstantially, “having instructed,” governing the dative tois kategorois {τοῖς κατηγόροις | toîs ka-tē-gó-rois} and the infinitive legein {λέγειν | lé-gein}, directing the accusers to state their charges.
In context — Acts 23:30
But when it was disclosed to me that there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to you at once, having also instructed the accusers to state what they have against him before you.
