In the alternate ending of Mathew 6:13 contained in the byzantine/majority text:
Ὅτι σοῦ ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία καὶ ἡ δύναμις καὶ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας.
The τους sometimes has a grave accent in some of the editions and other times has a circumflex accent.
This is also true across other printed received manuscripts. The textus receptus on blue letter Bible has a circumflex.
Is there an accent rule I'm missing that turns a grave accent on this definite article to a circumflex when it normally has a grave? Is the εἰς doing something.

Re: Mathew 6:13 accent
τοῦς occurs 342 times in the TLG, always in later Greek. It's possible that it comes from the pronunciation confusion between final circumflex and final grave in stress-based Greek. But unless we can find some manuscripts that support that, it's as likely to come from bad digitization.
“One might get one’s Greek from the very lips of Homer and Plato." "In which case they would certainly plough you for the Little-go. The German scholars have improved Greek so much.”

Re: Mathew 6:13 accent
What is the TLG? I have seen this abbreviation in this thread and another recently.

Persuade tibi hoc sic esse, ut scribo: quaedam tempora eripiuntur nobis, quaedam subducuntur, quaedam effluunt. Turpissima tamen est iactura, quae per neglegentiam fit. Et si volueris attendere, maxima pars vitae elabitur male agentibus, magna nihil agentibus, tota vita aliud agentibus.
