[130] ἐκ βελέων, not, as usual, coming out of the range of missiles, but keeping out of the range, as they are not to go near at all. This use is not like the regular meaning of the preposition “ἐκ”, and is not easily to be explained. We should have expected “ἀπό”, which implies merely distance from, not motion out of. See on 8.213, 16.668; and H. G. § 223.
