Exegesis
The coordinated nominative subjects pseudokhristoi {ψευδόχριστοι | pseudóchristoi} “false Christs” and pseudoprophetai {ψευδοπροφῆται | pseudoprophētai} “false prophets” are joined by kai {καὶ | kai}, forming a balanced pair that recalls Old Testament categories of prophetic deception while extending them to messianic claimants.

kairoskappa–alpha–iota–rho–omicron–sigma
“decisive point, appointed time”
In context — Mark 13:22
For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and they will show signs and wonders to lead astray, if possible, even the elect .
