Syntax notes4 items

5.2.45Πρώτων προτάσεων
Genitive without the preposition Περὶ. In ancient book catalogues, titles are frequently given in the genitive depending on an implicit governing noun such as βιβλία (indicating the subject matter or title).
5.2.46Περὶ ψυχῆς θέσις μία
In place of the standard numeral notation for books (α′), θέσις μία ('one thesis') stands in apposition to the title phrase, denoting a single dialectical thesis or proposition rather than a division into books.
5.2.48Περὶ τεχνῶν ῥητορικῶν εἴδη ιζ′
The phrase εἴδη ιζ′ ('17 species/types') stands instead of the standard bare numeral, indicating either seventeen distinct types/categories of rhetorical arts treated in the work, or seventeen books classified according to these species.
5.2.48Τῶν περὶ τὸ θεῖον ἱστορίας
ἱστορίας is a genitive singular depending on an implied noun like βιβλία. The substantivized prepositional phrase τῶν περὶ τὸ θεῖον ('concerning the divine') functions as an objective genitive dependent on ἱστορίας ('historical inquiry into divine matters').
