νῦν ἀπολύεις τὸν δοῦλόν σου, δέσποτα ...
[NUN APOLUEIS TON DOULON SOU, DESPOTA ... ]

I've long hoped for this but despaired of seeing it in my lifetime:
τῷ γραμματικῷ σοφῷ χάριν οἶδα πλείστην.
[TWi GRAMMATIKWi SOFWi CARIN OIDA PLEISTHN]
Mine eyes have seen the aorist middle/passive presented in a
Hellenistic fashion in the manner I have long thought it deserves
to be presented. Micheal Palmer has done it; it's part of his 
online Koine Greek Grammar, a commendable and very
fine piece of work. Check it out
