ktizo in Col 1:16

The Gr. verb ktizo occurs twice in Col 1:16.

The voice is passive in both cases. I believe that the second occurrence is tagged wrong in GNT-BYZ.

Or do I miss something here? I am no Gr. expert.

I haven't done the tagging myself, but I think that I know what happens.

A few years ago, before the Accordance Forums were made, there was a discussion about Middle and Passive in the old Accordance mailing list, that reflected similar discussions in the [b-Greek] mailing list.

 

Should forms of the type -μαι, -σαι, -ται be tagged according to morphology, or according to meaning?

 

According to form, ἔκτισται is Middle, at least if we call Middle the form -μαι, -σαι, -ται. According to meaning, it is passive, as ἐκτίσθη that comes before it.

 

In GNT-T the decision was taken that, whenever meaning would require a tag and form would require another, both would be provided as alternate tags.

 

This is what I see in ἔκτισται.

One other thing to note: the aorist has distinct active, middle, and passive forms. The perfect, on the other hand, has just two forms
