Thank you for your comments. If Greek literature avoids aorist imperatives of 
this verb, it means that the present would be the unmarked choice even in 
cases one already talks, and then the case is as you suggested: we cannot 
read much anything into the verb form.

Does anyone have means to get any statistics about the ratio between aorist 
and present imperatives of SIGAW in Greek literature (wider than just NT & 
Homer)? Any examples of aorist imperatives?
