Excerpt: ...Themt. 144b aK-qKoa fiev rovvop, a, fivq/jLovevas 8' ou (see Goodwin MT 46)--BU 163 (ii/A.D.) fyaal oi irapovrei iicelvov /iSXKov (? often ) Tovto ireiroiTjKevai, Kal yap aXKoi w? irXrjyevje'i mrb avrov dva(j)opiov Se&co/eacri--EP 11 (222 B.C.) nrXeova.Ki'; yeypdpap.ev. To this category belong perfects with irmwore, as Jn l18 587 833, and such cases as 2 Co 1217, &v direaraXKa, of those whom (from time to time) I have sent.

It seems clear that an aorist would suit all passages in 2 Co; and in the first of them it seems hopeless to squeeze a natural perfect force into the Greek:1 an aorist would suit Mk I.e. perfectly, but that matters less.
