 Dear Carl,

 Thank you for that. My verbal paradigm charts (LUW, etc) don't show any Aorist
 imperatives for Middle/Passive verbs. But you are so right, as ever. Sorting
 out Middle, Passive, and Deponent voices always gave me problems!

 No, I wasn't making a specific claim about hAPTOMAI. I just wasn't expecting
 anything other than the Present Imperative to appear at John 20:17.
