Brown [1982] gives three grammatical interpretations (which I present below
with slight modifications) of (PERI TOU LOGOU) THS ZWHS.
(a) It could be an appositive genitive meaning: "about the word which is life."
(b) It could be a qualifying genitive meaning: "about the life-giving word."
(c) It could be a objective genitive meaning: "concerning the word about life."
But Brown's translation merely gives: "about the word of life."
