JACT Section 6 A, page 64

ὤ τῆϛ σοφἰας τῶν ἄνδρῶν. JACT translation: Oh the wisdom of the men!

Why τῆϛ σοφἰας genitive? Is there perhaps an implied πρὸς after ὤ or does that kind of exclamation require the genitive anyway?

The interjection ὤ can have a nominative or a genitive. Bailly gives the following example: ὢ τῆς ἀναισχυντίας Luc.Pisc.5.

I understand. (εννοέω?) gratias tibi ago.
