I'm attempting to argue that Revelation 22:3 really refers to two thrones by the phrase καὶ ὁ θρόνος τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ τοῦ ἀρνίου, since Revelation 3:21 appears to indicate two thrones, viz. τῷ θρόνῳ μου and τῷ θρόνῳ αὐτοῦ.
In Revelation 22:3, there is a singular head noun followed by two nouns in the genitive separated by the conjunction καὶ. I believe that the verse could be interpreted as "the throne of God and [the throne] of the Lamb."
Does anyone know of any clear examples of this phenomenon in the NT?

Re: Singular head noun, followed by two genitives and καὶ
Seems like what you're suggesting would more likely be ὁ θρόνος τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ὁ τοῦ ἀρνίου.
But it's Revelation, home of the solecism, so perhaps you could read it that way.
