John,

<<The translator is Ivan Panin (ex Harvard) "Numeric Greek New Testament" 
(1934) ... Why would a competent scholar use this form?
The numeric values of the words (both form & lexical), naturally, are 
affected by replacing an iota with an epsilon.>>

Well, numeric perfection is the reason he preferred the form aleeis as 
against alieis. After all, wasn't it his position that
numerology can help recover the original Greek text?

Try the Greek Grammatical analysis tool at Perseus.org. It could be the masc 
nom/voc pl form of aleês, "in the sun".

Respectfully,
