Plummer on Luke 8:23 says the use = ";fall asleep"; is ";medical and late"; : unfortunately he gives no evidence of the former (nor does Hobart mention it), but the citation from Heliodorus is to be noted. Lobeck Phryn. p. 224 gives others. The transference of an ἀπό compound from the end of an action to the beginning of it is seen also in ἄφιξις (q. v.) : in neither case is Luke likely to have started the change of meaning, but our evidence is still scantier here than there.
