Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
Here is the mind which hath wisdom (wde o nouv o exwn sofian). "Here is the intelligence which has wisdom" (Charles). A variation of Revelation 13:18, but the same idea.
Seven mountains (epta orh). Rome was known as the city on seven hills (Vergil, Horace, Ovid, Cicero, etc.).
On which (opou--ep autwn). "Where--upon them." Pleonasm like opou--ekei in Revelation 12:6. In Revelation 13:1 ff. it is the beast that has the seven heads, while here the woman riding the beast has seven heads, a slight change in the symbolism, and the heads are further identified as kings.
