There is some debate about the meaning of MNEIA hUMWN in Phil. 1:3. Some think 
it is a subjective genitive and others that it is an objective genitive. Did 
Paul thank God for his memory of the Philippians or for the Philippians' 
remembering Paul in prison?

I am interested in studying this issue in some depth. That would require a 
corpus (beyond the size of the NT occurrences) on the use of MNEIA. I would 
be thankful if anyone could produce such a corpus with some context both 
before and after the word. 

Also any comments on the question itself are welcome.
