Exegesis
The aorist passive indicative epiásthē {ἐπιάσθη | epiásthē} foregrounds the beast’s arrest, leaving the agent implicit.
In context — Revelation 19:20
And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who had performed the signs before him, by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who were worshipping its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.
