middle-passive; in this instance it is pretty clearly MIDDLE in sense. <<

Ha!  Yes, I wondered about that, but my training was so focused on the New
Testament and over and over I heard that the middle had pretty much fallen
into disuse by this time.  I've taken to assuming that a passive/middle was
passive.  How interesting to meet a true middle.

Thanks again.

Best regards,

David
