I find it listed as Deponent in the TVM for the KJV and the TR.

Same word and conjugation is used in the UBS 4th with no deponency listed.

Just to give a thought here, I saw in the BDAG 3rd where it says as Def #! -
to rule or govern, w. implication of special status, rule
    I didn't think much of it because #2 simply says to initiate an action,
process, or state of being, begin

Now, Robertson is quoted "Drove out, assumed authority over 'the temple of
God' "

ie, He not only "began to drive out" he immediately gained authority and
drove out!  I like the urgency!

My exegesis may be wrong, but I am just observing BDAG definitions and such.
I think I find myself with good company with Dr. Robertson!
