Rev 9:15. Τὴν) The article removes the distributive force, as E. Schmid teaches in his Notes on the New Testament, f. 806; wherefore it is not any hour, day, month, year, whatever that is meant, but a definite period of times; that is, a period of about 207 years, if it seem correct, from A. 629 to A. 836, or from A. 634 to A. 840, that is, from the last time of Abubeker[100] to the death of Motassem.[101] See especially the Saracenic Chronicle of Drechsler enlarged by Reiske, pp. 14-37, and Hottinger Eccl. Hist. Sec. vii. viii. and ix., and Comp. Theatr. Orient. Part i. ch. 3.

[100] Abubeker, the friend and successor of Mahomet.-T.

[101] Motassem, the last of the Caliphs.-T.
