• here it is properly a "throne," because Satan is spoken of in respect of authority. It is obvious that all this exactly describes the state of things in Constantine's time.

J. N. Darby Translation

13

W. Kelly Translation

13

I know [thy works, anda] where thou dwellest, where the throne of Satan is; and thou holdest fast my name and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein was Antipasb, my faithful witness who was killed among you, where Satan dwelleth.

WK Translation Notes

+

a

Many MSS. add "thy works and," contrary to others.

b

Some of the versions seem to have understood that "Antipas" was not a proper name but a verb, and translate the passage, "And in the days thou wast arraigned." The Coptic diverges in one direction, the Syriac in another. The Alexandrian copy, followed by some later ones, also spells the word so as possibly to mean a verb; but we are not aware of any authority for this, and have no doubt that a man’s name is intended.
