[B-Greek] APO as "away from" in Mt 11:19

A while ago I discussed on b-greek the idea to translate APO as "away from"
in Mt 11:19. I have found that this has already been proposed by Barth in
1893:
Barth "Die Rechtfertigung der Weisheit Mt 11:19" TSK 66 (1893) 591-95 and an
addition in TSK 67 (1894) 617-21.
"Wisdom is justified away from her works/products." This is meant as: The
finest products of wisdom are Jesus and John. Now the Jews have managed (by
their justifications, verses 18-19a) to separate wisdom from her products
(Jesus and John).

Now I find an article in NTS that reproduces this idea again:
"The Justification of Wisdom (Matt 11.19b/Luke 7.35)"
SIMON GATHERCOLE, NTS 49 (2003) 476-488

Btw.
Is it surprising that he didn't mention (not even in a footnote) the
significant textual variant at this position?

Best wishes
