Revelation 21:18

καὶ ἡ. So Lach[838] Tisch[839] W. H[840] and Weiss with אcAP; א* has ἦν for ἡ; Text. Rec[841] reads καὶ ἦν ἡ with B2, vg[842] and Primas[843]

[838] Lachmann’s larger edition.

[839] Tischendorf: eighth edition; where the text aud notes differ the latter are cited.
[840] H. Westcott aud Hort.
[841] Rec. Textus Receptus as printed by Scrivener.
[842] Vulgate.
[843] Primasius, edited by Haussleiter.

18. ἡ ἐνδώμησις. A half technical word, as it were ‘the superstructure’ as distinct from the foundations.

ἴασπις. See on Revelation 4:3.

ἡ πόλις, i.e., the houses included within the wall.

ὑάλῳ καθαρῷ. See on κρυσταλλίζοντι Revelation 21:11; the refulgence of untarnished metal has a certain resemblance to glass: it seems as if we can see into it as we can see through glass.
