καὶ ἐγὼ διενοούμην, καὶ ἰδοὺ τρὰγος αἰγῶν ἤρχετο ἀπὸ δυσμῶν ἐπὶ προσώπου τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἦν τοῦ τράγου κέρας ἓν θεωρητὸν ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτοῦ.

LXX

And as I was considering, behold, a he-goat came from the west over the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
