I appreciate Prof. Kraft bringing his customary methodological 
precision to this question and look forward to the results of the 
examination he suggests. It might be pointed out that even a large 
number of cases of X ho epikaloumenos Y would represent a necessary 
condition for Timothy=Titus, but not a sufficient one, such as a 
reference to "Titus ho epikaloumenos Timotheos" would be. I find the 
thesis implausible in part because there is no clear equation but agree 
that it merits examination and am glad to see it receiving such on the 
list.
