The inscription reads:
'The sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and said: Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.
So that they kill a third of mankind. The number of the mounted troops was twice ten thousand times ten thousand.
Above the clouds and behind the heavenly altar, Christ is depicted in his attribution as The Ancient of Days, emphasizing his divine nature, which makes him older than the world. Below the clouds, the four angels tasked with the killing of a third of the people have been released. The cavalry is innumerable; the horses have lion heads that blow fire, smoke, and sulphur, and their tails are snakes. So they kill. These monstrous heads and tails have the power to torment a third of the people.
