The various reading of us nugav, given by valuable manuscripts, used
in the text of Arethas, and adopted by Matthæus, gives the article both with
the hour and the day. We are thus referred to the former mention of that hour
and that day, Rev. iii. 10, vi. 17, vii. 1. The dates of the Revelation, when
not immediately before mentioned, are given without the article.
