Jan 10, 2020 at 2:46 comment added Mitomino Does the sequence esse plus past participle (of a non-deponent verb) occur in middle function in Latin? YES. Is the middle function restricted to the mediopassive r-form in the imperfective tenses (infectum)? NO. Does the middle function also occur in the perfective tenses (perfectum)? YES. Please see my detailed answer below. NB: the real tricky question here is what one should understand by "middle voice" (if any!) in Latin (or what you refer to as "middle function"). As pointed out by Cerberus, you'll not find a clear consensus in the specialized literature on the topic.
