Exegesis
The phrase tes kathemenes epi hydaton pollon {τῆς καθημένης ἐπὶ ὑδάτων πολλῶν | tês ka-thē-mé-nēs e-pí hy-dá-tōn pol-lôn} uses a genitive participle for continued position (‘seated’) and epi + genitive to express her dominion or placement over the waters. English renders these chains through relative clauses and prepositional phrases to maintain the hierarchical and descriptive nuances.
In context — Revelation 17:1
One of the seven angels in possession of the seven bowls advanced and spoke to me: “Come closer; I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute seated on many waters.”
