Are you referring to Grandville Sharp? That is dealing with the use of the article. If there is an article followed by a substantive (nouns, substantive adjective, substantive participles) linked with KAI and followed by another substantive then it refers to the same person. The abbrevation for that is TSKS. (Article substantive kai substantive) Of course the substantives cannot be plural nor proper names. An example would be
EULOGHTOS hO QEOS KAI PATHP TOU KURIOU hUMWN IHSOU CHRISTOU (2 Cor 1:3) one article followed by the noun QEOS linked with KAI then followed by PATHR.
