Then does the accent go on the first or the second of three morae? I don't know if I can post external links here, but listening to a recording on Youtube based on Stephen Daitz's restored pronunciation, it sounds like the accent is on the first of the three morae in overlong circumflex diphthongs. I don't currently have access to Stephen Daitz's actual recordings currently, but I would appreciate it if anyone else can verify the placement of the accent in such environments.

@Nayrb Rellimer: So, I should point out that this discussion has occurred in a great detail more at Module talk:grc-pronunciation#Diphthongs, and the future solution has been implemented at Module:grc-pronunciation/sandbox. Soon we will be using rising, falling, and high tones instead of the moraic system that, while often reconstructed, does seems highly unlikely to have occurred in reality. —JohnC5 02:28, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Based on table-2 under Diphthongs, shouldn't the diphthong then be [aːî̯] Nayrb Rellimer (talk)
