Exegesis
The participle echousa introduces the secondary description of the woman’s action, governing the object poterion {ποτήριον | potḗrion} ‘cup’, qualified by chrysoun {χρυσοῦν | chrysoûn} ‘golden’ and the prepositional phrase en te cheiri autes {ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτῆς | en tē kheirí autês} ‘in her hand’.
In context — Revelation 17:4
And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold , with precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her fornication.
