‏ Revelation of John 9:19

 The power ( η εξουσια ). As in 2:26; 6:8. This power of the horses is both in their mouths (because of the fire, smoke, brimstone) and in their tails, "for their tails are like unto serpents" ( α γαρ ουρα αυτων ομοια οφεσιν ). Associative-instrumental case  οφεσιν after  ομοια.  Οφις is old word for snake (Mt 7:10).

 Having heads ( εχουσα κεφαλας ). Feminine present active participle of  εχω, agreeing with  ουρα (tails).

 With them ( εν αυταις ). Instrumental use of  εν. Surely dreadful monsters.
