[*] 1302. The word on which the possessive genitive depends may be represented by the article: ἀπὸ τῆς ἑαυτῶν from their own country (γῆς) T. 1.15 (cp. 1027 b). A word for dwelling (οἰκία_, δόμος, and also ἱερόν) is perhaps omitted after ἐν, εἰς, and sometimes after ἐξ. Thus, ““ἐν Ἀρίφρονος” at Ariphron's” P. Pr. 320a, ἐν Διονύ_σου (scil. ἱερῷ) at the shrine of Dionysus D. 5.7, ““εἰς διδασκάλου φοιτᾶν” to go to school” X. C. 2.3.9, ““ἐκ Πατροκλέους ἔρχομαι” I come from Patroclus's” Ar. Plut. 84. So, in Homer, εἰν（εἰς) Ἀίδα_ο.
