        In a few of the shorter books of the New Testament, the case most
often used is the Genitive (2Cor., 1Thess., 2Thess., etc.) or even the
Dative (Coloss.). Does anybody knows of a relatively large corpus (let's
say 5000 words or more) of Ancient Greek outside the NT where the genitive
(or the dative (??)) outnumbers (or gets very close to) the number of
accusatives and/or nominatives?
        Thanks in advance,
        Daniel.
