Thanks! Does it mean that "εστησαν" could be either "εστη + σαν" (intransitive) or "εστησα + ν" (transitive)? For example:
Intransitive:
[Luke 17:12] και εισερχομενου αυτου εις τινα κωμην απηντησαν αυτω δεκα λεπροι ανδρες οι εστησαν πορρωθεν
[Rev 18:17] οτι μια ωρα ηρημωθη ο τοσουτος πλουτος και πας κυβερνητης και πας ο επι τοπον πλεων και ναυται και οσοι την θαλασσαν εργαζονται απο μακροθεν εστησαν
Transitive:
[Acts 5:27] αγαγοντες δε αυτους εστησαν εν τω συνεδριω και επηρωτησεν αυτους ο αρχιερευς

Yes, it does, but I think that context (as ordinarily) will make it clear which any particular instance is in fact. Here it's abundantly clear that ἔστησαν is intransitive in Lk 17:12 and Rev 18:17, whereas in Act 5:27 it is causative.

Yup it is clear of course. I was just confirming because LSJ only listed "εστησαν" as "verb 3rd pl aor ind act" and not also as "verb 3rd pl aor ind act causal", though it does list "εστησα", "εστησαμεν", "εστησας", "εστησατε" and "εστησε[ν]" as causal. Thanks!
