Historical Commonalities
Greek text is pasted wholly from Bibleworks 5 and 9, using the CNTTS apparatus in 9 to decide among variants. The pastes sometimes weirdly accent the last syllable of the Greek, I don't know why. Just ignore them.
Revelation 17's parsing in the pdf is off by 7.
Add 1 syllable each at Rev17:1's φιάλας (shouldn't be elided)
and Rev17:3's βλασφημίας (shouldn't be elided).
Also add 5 sylls to the count in Rev 17:5a (to correct for my math error); corrected total becomes 234.
I'll have to redo all my Revelation 17 videos to show the new syllable/year matchings to real history.
New total ends at 963AD, so still tags the dual‐entendre Theophanu pun, but at her 1st husband's death, not the marriage. More biting.
Rev17 text in prior page uses the corrected meter.
WARNING: this is all original research, even tho I can prove scholars have been trying to find Bible meter for 500 years, and why they missed it. Be skeptical.
