Yes, that is very clear and seems fundamental. "in the attributive position"
ἡ παρὰ τὸν ποταμὸν ὁδος χαλεπή

And I can remember that, too. It is so funny when something becomes obvious, now, to me.

The thing to note here is the position of the prepositional phrase.
It is between the article in noun. In English, it would say "the along the river path". Thus, the prepositional phrase is in the attributive position. Typically, to translate a prepositional phrase in attributive position, you just place it after the noun so "the along the river path" becomes "the path along the river."
I hope this helps.
