After this I saw in the night visions, and, behold, a fourth animal, awesome and powerful, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth; it devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet: and it was diverse from all the animals that were before it; and it had ten horns.

Allusion3
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
The fourth beast 'with ten horns' (Dan 7:7,24) feeds the dragon's ten horns; Daniel's composite-beast imagery underlies the seven-headed ten-horned monster (recombined in Rev 13). Recurrence of Danielic beast schema.
High confidenceThe fourth beast with 'ten horns' (Dan 7:7) supplies the ten horns of Rev 13:1; verbal volume high. Theodotion keras deka.
High confidenceDaniel's fourth beast, 'terrible, dreadful... and it had ten horns' — source of the beast 'having seven heads and ten horns'; the ten horns are explicitly the Danielic kings (cf. v.12). Hays: volume, distinctiveness of ten-horned beast.
High confidenceEcho1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
The composite, monstrous, devouring war-beast with iron teeth that 'devoured and broke in pieces' resonates with the hybrid serpent-tailed, lion-mouthed cavalry of 9:17-19 as an instrument of mass slaughter. Faint; Daniel's beast tradition is broadly present in Revelation but not specifically cued here.
