Exegesis
The relative pronoun hos {ὅς | hós} introduces the clause hos estin Diabolos kai ho Satanas {ὅς ἐστιν Διάβολος καὶ ὁ Σατανᾶς | hós estín Diábolos kaí ho Satanâs}, equating this dragon-serpent with “the Devil” and “the Satan,” thus unifying symbolic and personal designations into a single adversary.
Root and etymology

In context — Revelation 20:2
And he seized the dragon, the serpent , the ancient one, who is the Devil and Satan, and he bound him for a thousand years.
