  Thank you George for the reference. A quick look in M-M also turned this up:

> 95. Second aorist active and middle.(1) Koine extends the -κ- -K- of the singular to the plural in the aorist active indicative: ἐδώκαμεν -ατε -αν EDWKAMEN -ATE -AN, ἐθήκαμεν, ἥκαμεν EQHKAMEN hHKAMEN (there is precedent in the class.period); the old inflection is retained in the middle. (2) The inflection of the subjunctive of ἔδωκα EDWKA has entirely gone over to the pattern of verbs in -οῦν -OUN: δοῖς δοῖ DOIS DOI (δῷ DWi was awkward because in pronunciation it was identical with the 1st sing.δῶ DW) along with δῶ δῶμεν δῶσιν DW DWMEN DWSIN after the pattern ζηλοῖς ζηλοῖ ZHLOIS ZHLOI with ζηλῶ ZHLW etc.; likewise διδοῖς διδοῖ DIDOIS DIDOI (present) and γνοῖς γνοῖ GNOIS GNOI. The aorist optative in Hellenistic is δῴην DWiHN. (3) Koine has -βα -BA etc. (Attic from *-βαε *-BAE etc.) in the imperative along with -βηθι
> -BHQI, and accordingly also -στα -STA etc. side by side with -στηθι -STHQI.
