Revelation 18:24

In her (en auth). In Rome.

Was found (eureqh). First aorist passive indicative of euriskw. See Revelation 16:6; Revelation 17:6 for the blood already shed by Rome. Rome "butchered to make a Roman holiday" (Dill, Roman Society, p. 242) not merely gladiators, but prophets and saints from Nero's massacre A.D. 64 to Domitian and beyond.

Of all that have been slain (pantwn twn esfagmenwn). Perfect passive articular participle genitive plural of sfazw, the verb used of the Lamb slain (Revelation 5:9, Revelation 5:12; Revelation 13:8). Cf. Matthew 23:35 about Jerusalem.
