A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.

Rev 17:12–14

The 'ten horns on its head' and the horn that 'made war with the saints' inform the ten-horns-with-the-beast warring imagery here turned against the Lamb. Hays: coherence with Daniel's horn-king war motif.

High confidence
Rev 13:1-4

The ten horns and the horn 'whose look was more stout than its fellows... a mouth that spoke great things' (Dan 7:20) reinforces the horn/blasphemy imagery; doublet with 7:8.
