I think he is referring to that element itself without regard to its use in the sentence.  "Quickly" has no verbal element, but "He ran quickly" does.

Subject: [B-Greek] Adverb with no verbal element


The following explanation for diagramming sentences (per Grassmick) seems like a mistake. Here is how it reads: (He is defining what his "left-slant' terrace means.)

"Left-slant terrace: holds modifiers containing no verbal element (e.g. adjectives, adverbs, prepositional phrases, genitive, dative, and accusative noun modifiers)"

The second e.g. (adverbs) is what seems wrong to me. How can it be said of an adverb that it contains 'no verbal element'? Or, are there some adverbs that do not contain a verbal element?
