- far above
Meaning
Dawn’s appearance or gaze is far above at LXXVIII.8, where no one escapes it. The printed neuter -ον form is most naturally read adverbially with “being,” though an irregular adjectival relation to feminine ὄψιν is possible. The sense of elevated oversight is clearer than the exact agreement; the source should not be silently repaired.
