BTW, as an addendum to my comments yesterday about whether ERXOMAI was just
a "personal involvement" middle (I don't know what to call it
technically...I'm sure there is some linguistic term for it...there seems
to be one for everything) or whether it actually is deponent (ie., can't be
made passive or transitive), one should consider examples of ERXOMAI like
Mark 4:21, 22 where ERXOMAI apparently has the passive meaning "to be
brought" (even though v 22 is the Aor Act?!). Someone needs to sort this
whole thing out....
