Technically verbs "to be" (EIMI) do not have voice so I would simply list
this one as "present participle, masculine, dative, plural of EIMI.
Interestingly the present of EIMI uses what we usually call active endings,
the imperfect uses a mixture of what we call middle and active, and the
future uses what we usually call middle endings.
