This means "Don't Stop!"
>MH PAUSHSQE (Q=THETA) -- Aorist Subjunctive Middle 2 person plural
This means "Don't be stoped!" e.g. "Don't be stoped by the Athenians!" (The
ending is passive and not middle! Usually contexts makes it clear which
option to chose)
>MH PAUQHTE (Q=THETA) -- Aorist Subjunctive Passive 2 person plural
This is not Aorist. You would need a sigma (s) as in your example above. My
friend, this example is confusing! Where did you get it? Is it correctly
copied from your book? Please let me know. What's confusing about it is
the 'QH' indicator. This is an indicator of the passive voice. The 'TE'
ending is an active ending. Thus, you have both active and passive voice in
one verb. I have never seen this ever. An ending can be both
middle/passive, but not passive and active.

Near Eastern specialist and Egyptologist. . .are too aware of the
isolationism often seen in traditional classics--or more precisely in
studies of Greek civilization--with its emphasis on the events of a
relatively short period, primarily in a particular exemplar of a single
group of cultures. Studies that appear to see fifth-century B.C.E Athens as
the defining experience of all civilization puzzle those whose interest lie
in other areas of the Mediterranean antiquity, and still more those
concerned with other regions of the world.
