The form without an iota (subscript) is an adverb or else a pronoun/adjective in the dual number. Either way, an acute accent is called for. See Apollonius Dyscolus' comment on the adverb in LSJ under
tw=|:
ou)/te perispa=tai ou)/te su\n tw=| i gra/fetai "it is written neither with a circumflex accent nor with an iota."
