The aim of this paper is to show that the relative order of Genetive and governing noun is determined, at least in Attic literary prose of ca. 400 B. C., by a syntactic rule, according to which, Ablative or Partitive Genetive follows the main noun, and Possessive Genetive goes before the modified noun. A selection from Lysias, Thucydides, Antiphon, Andocides, and Pseudo-Xenophon’s Resp. Ath. has been taken into account for the purpose. The syntactic determination of Greek word order being at any case taken for granted, a set of lexical rules is previously established in order to give a sounder account of the evidence; in the author's view, the disproving instances are due either to emphatic reasons or to the overlapping of two rules. A second class of lexical rules can be inferred from the position of the article. May the proposed syntactic rule be right, Classical Greek is a VO language as well an OV one.
