Here is a syntactic parallel for an adverbial genitive with ῥέω.
Proverbs 3:20 wrote:νέφη δὲ ἐρρύησαν δρόσους
Νέφος is a form of liquid. It seems like flowing on a solis is in the accusative. There is also a use with the genitive.

Is there a good example with a genitive so far separated from the word it governs? ποταμοὶ ... ὕδατος ζῶντος seem too far apart.
