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.
