Zerwick & Grosvenor comment:

" AFHKAMEN ...... prsupposing forgiveness on man's part, unless it 
represents a Semitic perfect, which in certain circumstances may 
have  present  sense"
There follows a cross-reference to s. 260 of Zerwick's "Biblical Greek"
This paragraph is actually considering the Magnificat in Luke, where he 
comments " we have the remarkable aorist (HGGELIASEN ) in obvious 
paralellism with the present ( MEGALUNEI ) This has been explained as a 
servile version of a  Hebrew inverted future (wayyiktol ) which, though it 
commonly refers to the past, can itself take a present value after a 
participle with that value "
