Well, a quick way was to search in my bible software (Accordance) for 
every Aorist Passive verb that didn't contain a theta.  Of course, this 
list of words overlooks any aorists that have a theta in the root 
itself.

Total number of verses = 138
   (total number of verses displayed = 138)

[VERB aorist passive] @-("*q*") (144 total words)
