I was reading along in Mk 6 and when I came to the end of 6:45 and read:

hEWS AUTOS APOLUEI TON OXLON

For some reason it just popped into my head that APOLUEI should be a
subjunctive here. After mulling it over for 90 seconds I grabbed Ruben
Swanson' s Mark and looked up this passage and saw a whole list of
manuscripts which read APOLUSHi.

My question is an elementary one. What was it in this text that made me
think subjunctive automatically when I read it?
