§351. Verbs of Reminding

Verbs of reminding take with the Accusative of the person a Genitive of the thing; except in the case of a neuter pronoun, which is put in the accusative (cf. § 390. c).

So admoneō, commoneō, commonefaciō, commonefīō. But moneō with the genitive is found in late writers only.
