We had a thread on this matter of aorist participles indicating
simultaneous or subsequent action a few years back; I'll see if I can
locate it; my recollection is that it does indeed appear to happen
and particularly when the aorist participles FOLLOWS rather than
precedes the relevant finite verb; but the argument is inconclusive.
See Sept 30-Oct 1 1998, Oct 4, 8-9 1998, (all "Adverbial aor ptcs of
subsequent time") and finally Oct 14, 1998 my exploration ("Adverbial
aor ptcs of subsequent time -- LONG"). KWLUQENTES in Acts 16:6 is
discussed there--I stated there that I do NOT think KWLUQENTES in
that instance should be taken as an aorist participle of subsequent
time, and I think only very rarely can an argument be made for an
"aorist participle of subsequent time."
