CCEL Footnote 744 (In-Text, Margin)

... smote him and broke both his horns, the greater and the lesser. And why did he say that he broke both his horns? Clearly because he humbled both the kingdoms which he ruled; the lesser, that of the Medes, and the greater, that of the Persians. But when Alexander the Greek came, he slew Darius, King of Media and Persia. For thus the angel said to Daniel, when he was explaining the vision to him:— The ram that thou sawest was the King of Media and Persia, and the he-goat the King of the Greeks.[Daniel 8:20-21] Now, from the time that the two horns of the ram were broken, until this time, there have been six hundred and forty-eight years.
