Syntax notes3 items

198Λογικοῦ τόπου τὰ τῶν προειρημένων τεττάρων διαφορῶν ἐκτὸς ὄντα
The genitive phrase 'Λογικοῦ τόπου' is a rubric/partitive genitive indicating the philosophical division, parallel to 'Ἠθικοῦ λόγου' in §199 and 'Ἠθικοῦ τόπου' in §201. The neuter plural substantivized participles 'τὰ ... ἐκτὸς ὄντα καὶ περιέχοντα' serve as the heading for this miscellaneous grouping, with 'ἐννέα καὶ τριάκοντα' specifying the number of books.
199Ὅρων τῶν τοῦ ἀστείου
'Ὅρων' is a title-level genitive (functioning like 'Περὶ ὅρων' or as a catalog category), and the following 'τῶν τοῦ ἀστείου' functions as a specifying appositive genitive: '[Books] of definitions: those of the virtuous man'. The subsequent entries ('Ὅρων τῶν τοῦ φαύλου', etc.) follow the identical structure.
201Ἀποδείξεις πρὸς τὸ μὴ δοξάσειν τὸν σοφὸν
The prepositional phrase 'πρὸς τὸ μὴ δοξάσειν τὸν σοφόν' uses the articular future infinitive with an accusative subject to indicate the thesis to be demonstrated ('Proofs to the effect that the sage will not hold mere opinions'). A parallel structure with the present infinitive appears in §202 ('πρὸς τὸ μὴ εἶναι...').
