Revelation 17:12

Which have received no kingdom as yet (oitinev basileian oupw elabon). Second aorist (proleptic and prophetic) active indicative of lambanw. The heads are emperors and the horns are kings (both called basileiv).

As kings (wv basileiv). Compared to kings (see wv in Revelation 1:10; Revelation 4:6; Revelation 9:7; Revelation 13:3; Revelation 14:3; Revelation 16:21) without identification with the emperors, though succeeding them with "quasi-imperial powers" with the beast.

For one hour (mian wran). Accusative of extent of time, and that a brief time (Revelation 18:10, Revelation 18:16, Revelation 18:19) in comparison with the beast (Revelation 13:2).
