This is still not a citation from S'ankara Bhashya. 

Now that the searchable formats are available, hope the actual words will be found.

Dear Madhavji,

Have you checked the supersite of IIT-K which has the text for all the important commentaries including Śankara and Madhva.

https://www.gitasupersite.iitk.ac.in

Also the following paper appears to discuss the topic in detail, which I have only a snippet view access on google books:

Bhavani, Sudhindra: Is Arjuna amadhyamadhikarin? [Engl.]. In: Studies in Indian history and culture: volume presented to Dr. P. B. Desai ... 1971. - pp. 412-415

The following snippet appears to confirm Sankara proposed  Arjuna  as a Madhyamadhikarin.

Madhva has therefore, hastened to correct this impression left by Śankara and dispel the myth of Arjuna's being a Madhyamadhikarin. At the very beginning of his Gīta-Tatparya he hails Arjuna as a front rank Adhikari (Uttamadhikari) and as the best beloved of the Lord (Atmanah priyatamah).

Regards,
Suresh.

I am trying to find if and where Śaṅkara uses the term madhyamādhikārin in reference to Arjuna in his Gītābhāṣya.  Radhakrishnan, in his introduction to his translation of the Bhagavadgītā, attributes this view to Śaṅkara.  I have not yet found a passage in Śaṅkara's Gītābhāṣya where he used the term madhyamādhikārin for Arjuna.  I would appreciate if anyone else has come across such a passage.

Dear Colleagues,

     Is there a searchable text of Śaṅkara's commentary on the Bhagavadgītā?  Please let me know if there is such a file that I can access.  Thanks.
