hHGEOMAI appears 28x in the GNT, all 28x in the middle voice. It's not
altogether clear what you're asking; some people do want to call it a  
"deponent"
and mean by that that it has an "active" sense.  It can take a direct  
object and
it can be used in the sense "deem" or "reckon"  like LOGIZOMAI with an
accusative, infinitive, and predicate word. The voice of the verb is  
middle
owing to the subject-focus of the verb.
