[*] 1161. The genitive of a substantive limiting the meaning of another substantive may take any one of four positions:— a. τὸ τοῦ πατρὸς βιβλίον the father's book (very common). Thus, ἡ <*> τεθνεώτων ἀρετή the valour of the dead L. 12.36. b. τὸ βιβλίον τὸ τοῦ πατρός (less common). Thus, ““ἡ οἰκία_ ἡ Σίμωνος” the house of Simon” L. 3.32. c. τοῦ πατρὸς τὸ βιβλίον (to emphasize the genitive or when a genitive has just preceded). Thus, ““τῆς ϝί_κης τὸ μέγεθος” the greatness of the victory” X. H. 6.4.19. d. τὸ βιβλίον τοῦ πατρός (very common). Thus, ““ἡ τόλμα τῶν λεγόντων” the effrontery of the speakers” L. 12.41. The genitive of the divided whole (1306) is so placed or as in c. N. 1.—A substantive with no article is sometimes followed by the article and the attributive genitive: ἐπὶ σκηνὴν ἰόντες τὴν Ξενοφῶντος going to the ten<*> (namely, that) of Xenophon X. A. 6.4.19. Cp. 1159.
