Exegesis
The verse opens with kai ho hebdomos {Καὶ ὁ ἕβδομος | Kaí ho hébdomos}, where the article and ordinal adjective function substantivally to denote the seventh angel.
A coordinated clause with kai exelthen {καὶ ἐξῆλθεν | kaí ex-ēl-then} introduces the subject phone megale {φωνὴ μεγάλη | phōnḕ megálē}, anarthrous to emphasize the magnitude of the voice.
Root and etymology

And the seventh angel poured out his bowl upon the air, and a great voice came out of the temple from the throne, saying, “It is done.”
