Chorographic genitive

GENITIVE OF THE DIVIDED WHOLE (PARTITIVE GENITIVE)

Chorographic Genitive.—τῆς Ἀττικῆς ἐς Οἰνόην to Oenoë in Attica T. 2.18 (or ἐς Οἰνόην τῆς Ἀττικῆς, not ἐς τῆς Ἀττικῆς Οἰνόην), τῆς Ἰταλίᾱς Αοκροί the Locrians in Italy 3. 86. The article, which is always used with the genitive of the country (as a place well known), is rarely added to the governing substantive (τὸ Κήναιον τῆς Εὐβοίᾱς Cenaeum in Euboea T. 3.93).
