Yes, it's perfectly conceivable, although it wouldn't surprise me that many would prefer to call it a "divine passive." As
a middle it's sense would "... those who have taken their place ... " or something like, " ... those who have gotten into
the line for ... " The form itself TETAGMENOI EISIN can be understood in either a middle or passive sense.
