Exegesis
A second clause linked by kai {καὶ | kaí} introduces the imperfect eichen {εἶχεν | eî-chen} ‘it had’, which gives a durative, descriptive portrayal of the beast’s characteristic features, here kerata duo homoia arnio {κέρατα δύο ὅμοια ἀρνίῳ | ké-ra-ta dú-o hó-moi-a ar-ní-ō} ‘two horns like a lamb’, with homoia plus the dative arnio forming a comparison of external likeness.
In context — Revelation 13:11
And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and it had two horns like a lamb, and it was speaking like a dragon .
