of stadia
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive plural, masculine (UGNT: Gr,N,,,,,GMP/GNP); denotes multiple units in a relational or possessive construction. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive plural form denotes possession or relation and is rendered "of stadia," preserving both the plural number and the primary sense of standardized distance units. "Stadia" retains the technical measure inherent in the root meaning of a fixed, set length. |
