And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goes into perdition.
All Commentaries on Revelation 17:11 Go To Revelation 17
Victorinus of Pettau
AD 303
And he is the eighth. He says only when this beast shall come, reckon it the eighth place, since in that is the completion. He added:—
And shall go into perdition. For that ten kings received royal power when he shall move from the east, he says. He shall be sent from the city of Rome with his armies. And Daniel sets forth the ten horns and the ten diadems. And that these are eradicated from the former ones—that is, that three of the principal leaders are killed by Antichrist: that the other seven give him honour and wisdom and power.
