I would like to recommend Stephen Carlson’s recent discussion of clitic placement over at Hypotyposeis. He has posted four discussions of key implications of David Goldstein’s dissertation.

• Clausal Clitic Placement in Classical Greek
• Koine Clitic Placement I: Goldstein vs. Taylor
• Koine Clitic Placement II: Goldstein vs. Levinsohn
• Koine Clitic Placement III: Wackernagel’s Law in the First Century?

A little over a year ago, Mike Aubrey had a good bit to say about clitic placement in the New Testament that is also very worthwhile reading (ΕΝ ΕΦΕΣΩ). If you want a refresher on the data, take a look at these posts in particular:

• The Word Order of Clitic Pronouns
• Pronominal Clitics in Noun Phrases: The Data
• Pronominal Clitics: The Difficult Examples
• Pronominal Clitics Attaching to Topics
• Pronominal Clitics Attaching to Verbs with Focal Constituents
• Constituent Order

I would like to thank both Mike and Stephen for the work they have dedicated to this topic.
