ἀφ’
apó
since
A preposition indicating movement or origin away from a person, place, thing, or state; expressing separation, source, or origin. It generally marks the point of departure or differentiation, frequently translated as 'from.' In various contexts, ἀπό can denote physical separation ('from a place'), temporal separation ('since'), or the source/cause ('because of'). In compound words (as a prefix), it intensifies the sense of removal, completion, or reversal.

from
| Morphological Notes | Preposition (Gr,P) governing the genitive case; ἀφ’ is the elided form of ἀπό used before a word beginning with a rough breathing. |
| Rendering Rationale | As a preposition governing the genitive, ἀπό marks separation or point of origin. "From" most directly preserves the core idea of movement or derivation away from a source. |

| Rationale | 'Since' better fits the context here than 'from', marking the duration ('since which' I went up). This matches the English usage in this kind of time expression. |
