Alan:
There's a useful book:
Perschbacher, Wesley J. New Testament Greek Syntax: An Illustrated Manual.
Chicago: Moody, 1995.
[ According to Amazon.com, this title is out of print --- something i find
hard to believe is anything but temporary for a useful tool like this,
published only four years ago
However, I see there are a number of second hand copies currently available
on MX BookFinder at:
http://www.bookfinder.com/search/ ]
and I thought you might like to look up the examples he cites for the
genitivie absolute:
Gen. masc. sg 1 Jn 5:13
fem. Gal. 3:25
masc. pl. Ac. 6:1
fem. pl Ac. 25:13
Genitive pronoun as subject of genetive absolute construction 2 Co. 1:11
In another section, dealing with the fact that " adverbial or
circumstantial participles are always anarthrous [ i.e without the definite
article ]
he gives:
Gen. pl. masc pres. pass. ptc. Mt. 28:13 "..... _stole_ him _ while
we were sleeping_
Gen. sg. fem. aor. mid. dep. ptc. Mt. 14:2 " ... and _when evening
came he was there_ alone
