φλὸξ. Text. Rec[724] and Lach[725] prefix ὡς with A latt.

[724] Rec. Textus Receptus as printed by Scrivener.
[725] Lachmann’s larger edition.

ὄνομα γεγραμμένον. אc substitutes and B2 prefixes ὀνόματα γεγραμμένα (B2 adding καὶ). Primas[726] has nomen magnum scriptum, i.q. ὄνομα μέγα which implies some corruption founded on ὀνόματα.

[726] Primasius, edited by Haussleiter.

12. οἱ δὲ ὀφθαλμοί. Revelation 1:14.

διαδήματα πολλά. These are distinctively kingly crowns, see on Revelation 4:4; Revelation 6:2. Their number marks Him as King of kings, Revelation 19:16 : perhaps also as both King and Priest, as in Zechariah 6:11 sqq., and in the use of the triple crown by modern popes. Tyconius thinks of the “multitudo coronatorum”: their glory is His.

ἔχων, like πλήρης, St John 1:14. This nominative is connected in sense with the preceding parenthetical clause, while the only possible construction for it is to be found in a forced connexion with the finite verbs before the parenthesis.

ὄνομα γεγραμμένον. See crit. note. The name is probably on the forehead (as Revelation 14:1).

ὃ οὐδεὶς οἶδεν, Revelation 2:17; for the Lord having such a name, see Revelation 3:12, and notes on both places.
