Revelation 8:13-9:2 And I beheld, and heard an eagle,* flying in the midst, having a tail of blood,** saying with a great voice, Woe, woe, to those who dwell upon earth, from the voice of the rest of the trumpets of the three angels which are about to sound!* An eagle. This is considered a good reading, and has been given by Griesbach in his Greek text. ** Here the Syrian translator was at fault. His Greek copy, without separating the words, read, "in the midst of heaven;" which he appears to have decomposed thus: ("the midst") (+)+ ("a tail") (+)+ ("blood,") so as to produce the singular expression given above.

And I saw a star which fell from heaven unto the earth and there was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss. ² And he opened the pit of the abyss,[Biro dathumo.] and smoke ascended from the pit, as the smoke of a burning furnace; and the sun was darkened, and the air, from the smoke of the pit.
