Starred entries are definitions or explanations.

Because the Books of Daniel and Revelation refer to the same “beasts” by different designations (Daniel’s fourth beast is the equivalent of both the first and second beasts in Revelation), this index refers to the beasts in Revelation with a capital “B” for clarification, and the beasts in Daniel in lower-case.
