[B-Greek] Genitive of Subordination and Revelation 1:5

I think that the biblical word PRWTO’TOKOS
(a translation of  the Hebrew term bĕkowr,
which means “first of its kind” or the “eldest son of the father”)
is always followed either by possessive genitive or by partitive genitive.
Even though I have examined one by one the occurrences of PRWTO'TOKOS in LXX and GNT,
I don't remember having found any other case.
 
Also, I would agree with Professor Conrad
in that the “pluralistic” sub-categorization of genitives
is quite funny. As far as I know, in Greece Ancient Greek grammars
do not follow this tendency.
