Noun phrases, verb phrases, prepositional phrases

What can go in a noun phrase? Obviously, a noun phrase can consist of a
noun, or an article and a noun:

NP -> N [a LOGOS]
-> A N [d hO][n LOGOS]

More complex noun phrases are, of course, possible:

NP -> A N (Pron) (A Adj) [a TON][n ARTON][pron hHMWN][a TON][adj EPIOUSION]

Are there any reasonably complete discussions of the possible noun phrases
in hellenistic Greek? How about verb phrases and prepositional phrases? So
far, the most helpful discussion that I have found is in Micheal Palmer's
_Levels of Constituent Structure_, but it makes to claims for completeness.
