Translation
The Attic [Greeks] [form] the genitive in the same way as the Ionians. Hermippus in Daughters of Athena [writes]: "a waxy new robe of ripe blossoms". And later on: "brushing delicate robes full of flowers".1 And Aristagoras in Blockhead: "thus Xenophon distinguishes missiles from mountains, and other different things".2
Greek original · Adler’s text
Ἀνθέων· τὴν γενικὴν ὁμοίως τοῖς Ἴωσιν οἱ Ἀττικοί. Ἕρμιππος Ἀθηνᾶς Γοναῖς· κηροσπάθητον ἀνθέων ὕφασμα καινὸν ὡρῶν. καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἐξῆς· λεπτοὺς διαψαίρουσα πέπλους ἀνθέων γέμοντας. καὶ Ἀρισταγόρας Μαμμακύθῳ. οὕτως δὲ καὶ βελέων καὶ ὀρέων καὶ ἕτερα πλείονα Ξενοφῶν διαιρεῖ.
