πεφυγμένος. Elsewhere used with an accusative, as Od.9. 455; Il.6. 488“μοῖραν πεφυγμένον”. Il.22. 219“πεφυγμένον ἄμμε γενέσθαι”. But, as Nitzsch points out, the shade of meaning is different in the two constructions. The use with the accusative denotes escape from an evil which was imminent, but which never actually came; the genitive implies that the sufferer was already involved in the evil. Cp. Soph. Phil.1044“τῆς νόσου πεφευγέναι”.
