Polycarp:
 
Drs. Parsons and Culy lists it as GEGENOEN. Is GEGENOEN an older Greek form? The accent is over the first E if that helps.

In Acts 5,4, TI hOTI appears to be short for TI GEGENOEN hOTI

How would you parse GEGENOEN?

I don't know how one would parse GEGENOEN, but, if you mean GEGONEN (most likely), that is the perfect 3 s of GINOMAI.  I would not, however, supply GEGONEN here.  ESTI is a more likely candidate in my mind.  It would then read
 
TI [ESTI] hOTI EQOU EN THi KARDIAi SOU TO PRAGMA TOUTO . . .
 
Extremely literally:  "What is it that put this deed in your heart  . . ."
 
OR
 

"What made you decide  to do this . . . "
 
If you were to supply GEGONEN, it would be more like
 
"What happened that it put this deed in your heart . .."
