This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Rev 18:11. etc. Γόμον,[199] Κ.Τ.Λ.) The construction is easy from ΓΌΜΟΝ to ΠΡΌΒΑΤΑ, and ΨΥΧᾺς coheres with these in the same case; but at ἽΠΠΩΝ, ῬΕΔῶΝ, ΣΩΜΆΤΩΝ, you may understand afresh ΓΌΜΟΝ: for horses, chariots, and slaves, are serviceable for the conveyance of different kinds of merchandise. There is a mixture of cases, as in Hippocr. de Humoribus, ch. 25. Pricæus is very full, in setting forth this enumeration. If you examine the Romish Ceremonial, you may see that all kinds of these wares repeatedly occur in abundance.
[199] But the reading γόμος also, ver. 12, is preferred in the margin of each Edition.-E. B.
But the oldest authorities read γόμον. Vulg. “merces,” ver. 11; “mercem,” ver. 12.-E.
