Actually it reads APWLLUNTO, doesn't it (imperfect middle, not imperative
active)? I don't really see what the problem is here: the alternatives are
active APOLLUMI and middle APOLLUMAI. I don't think there's a distinct
passive form of the verb, even if the middle voice is understood in a
passive sense. The middle really means "go to ruin," "go to waste," Lat.
PEREO.
