mvp-comment-208-1 οὐκ ἀπὸ γνώμης 1

mvp-comment-208-2 The accent in L here,

ἄπο γνώμης
, represents the theory that this prep. should be paroxytone when it means ‘at a distance from,’ as in the phrases cited above, and in
ἀπὸ τείχεος
( Il.9. 353 ),
ἀπὸ σεῖο
( ib. 437), etc. But this was merely a refinement due to comparatively late grammarians: see Ellendt, Lex. Soph. p. 79 a: Matthiae Gr. § 572 n. b.
