Revelation 20:8

Gog and Magog— (Eze. 38:1-39:29; see on Ezekiel 38:2). Magog is a general name for northern nations of Japheth's posterity, whose ideal head is Gog (Genesis 10:2). A has but one Greek article to "Gog and Magog," whereby the two, namely, the prince and the people, are marked as having the closest connection. B reads the second article before Magog wrongly. HILLER [Onomasticon] explains both words as signifying "lofty," "elevated." For "quarters" the Greek is "corners."

to battle—Greek, "to the war," in A and B. But ANDREAS omits "the."
