Rob, the only perfect subjunctive forms that appear in the NT are forms of
OIDA (ten occurances). There are eleven occurances of the periphrastic
perfect subjunctive in the NT. One active is 2Cor 1:9 PEPOIQOVTES WMEN. One
of the passive is John 3:27 H DEDOMENON. From what I have read, the perfect
subjunctive is equally rare in other Helenistic literature.
