αὐταῖς. With AP; א has αὐτοῖς throughout and is supported here and in Revelation 9:4 by B2, in Revelation 9:5 by A where Text. Rec[317] and W. H[318] (text) read αὐταῖς with B2P.

[317] Rec. Textus Receptus as printed by Scrivener.
[318] H. Westcott aud Hort.

3. ἐκ τοῦ καπνοῦ. Cf. Revelation 16:2. One can hardly tell whether we are to understand that the smoke turned into locusts, or only that the locusts rose in the smoke, and dispersed from among it.

οἱ σκορπίοι τῆς γῆς, i.e. common natural scorpions: these infernal locusts are able to hurt men, as common scorpions are, but common locusts are not.
