Exegesis
The finite verb ekraxen {ἔκραξεν | é-kra-xen} ‘cried out’ serves as the main action, while the instrumental phrase en ischyra phōnē {ἐν ἰσχυρᾷ φωνῇ | en is-chy-râi phō-nēi} ‘in a mighty voice’ highlights the force of the proclamation.
In context — Revelation 18:2
He shouted with a mighty voice, saying, “Fallen—fallen is Babylon the great! Now she has become a dwelling place for demons, a prison for every unclean spirit, a prison for every unclean bird, and a prison for every unclean and detested beast.”
