If I understood right you want to know how it is written in Greek.
Well it is written Πρωτόπαπας.

ΠΡΩΤΟΠΑΠΑΣ


Explanation:
If it is referring to a person's surname then you write it as
ΠΡΩΤΟΠΑΠΑΣ which is a proper Greek surname.

If it is not referring to a person's surname then you may freely translate it
ΠΡΩΤΟΣ ΠΑΠΑΣ or ΠΡΩΤΟΠΑΠΑΣ in which case it indicates a title or priestly rank in the appropriate context of course.
