The Fathers on this verse
St Victorinus of Pettau Commentary on the Apocalypse of the Blessed John, General Notes by the American Editor
9. Dan himself, p. 349 , ver. 8. Here is a touch of Chiliasm again, i.e., of the better sort. Even Dan is promised a restoration: and the use of Gen. xlix. 16 for that intent is noteworthy, as compared with Rev. vii. 5-8 , where Dan is omitted. But Hippolytus takes a very different view of the same text.
