This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
16. τῶν στρατευμάτων. Primas[332] reads militantium = στρατευομένων.

[332] Primasius, edited by Haussleiter.

δύο μυριάδες μυριάδων. With א. Lach[333] Tisch[334] W. H[335] and Weiss read δισμυριάδες μυριάδων with Revelation 1*. Epiph[336] quotes ἤκουσα τὸν ἀριθμὸν τοῦ στρατοῦ μυρίαι μυριάδες καὶ χίλιαι χιλιάδες; B2 reads μυριάδες μυριάδων; Primas[337] reads octoginta milia (which points to an older reading δισμύριοι, cf. Psa 68:17, where LXX. translate τὸ ἅρμα τοῦ θεοῦ μυριοπλάσιον, as if each angel was over 20,000), and quotes Tyconius as reading bis miriades miriadum which is certainly wrong, for in his commentary Tyc[338] says non dixit quot miriadum. The reading of most editors might have been reached by combining two readings, one of which has only indirect Latin evidence.

[333] Lachmann’s larger edition.

[334] Tischendorf: eighth edition; where the text aud notes differ the latter are cited.

[335] H. Westcott aud Hort.

[336] St Epiphanius.

[337] Primasius, edited by Haussleiter.

[338] Tyconius.
