Exegesis
The verse begins with kai {καί | kaí} 'and', linking this clause to the preceding vision.
The second kai {καί | kaí} 'and' coordinates an additional clause: the prepositional phrase ep autōn {ἐπʼ αὐτῶν | ep au-tôn} 'upon them' identifies the locus for twelve names (dōdeka onomata {δώδεκα ὀνόματα | dṓ-de-ka o-nó-ma-ta} 'twelve names').
