I don't know what info you DO have, so here's something you MAY
already have/know.
Louw and Nida (Greek English Lexicon of the NT based on Semantic
Domains) put it under the domain of control or rule and under the
subdomain of control restrain.
"To control in a domineering manner - to 'control, to
domineer.' 'I do not allow women ... to dominate men' (1Ti2.12) To
control in a domineering manner is often expressed idomatically, for
example, 'to shout orders at', 'to act like a chief toward', 'to bark
at'.
Nothing specifi here about the genetive.
Hope it helps!
