[312] οὐχ ἅλις. For the form of sentence compare Il.17. 450 οὐχ ἅλις ὡς καὶ τεύχἐ ἔχει καὶ ἐπεύχεται αὔτως”;

In the phrase τὸ πάροιθεν the article retains something yet of its deictic, or demonstrative force. This usage belongs to what is called the contrasting force of the article, the past (“πάροιθεν”) forming a sort of opposition to the present or future. See generally Förstemann, Bemerk. über den Gebrauch des Artikels bei H. pp. 30 foll.
