Then I enquired carefully concerning the fourth beast; for it differed from every other beast, exceeding dreadful: its teeth were of iron, and its claws of brass, devouring, and utterly breaking to pieces, and it trampled the remainder with its feet:

Septuagint (Brenton’s Greek, 1851)

Καὶ ἐζήτουν ἀκριβῶς περὶ τοῦ θηοίου τοῦ τετάρτου· ὃτι ἦν διαφέρον παρὰ πᾶν θηρίον, φοβερὸν περισσῶς, οἱ ὀδόντες αὐτοῦ σιδηροῖ, καὶ ὄνυχες αὐτοῦ χαλκοῖ, ἐσθίον, καὶ λεπτῦνον, καὶ τὰ ἐπίλοιπα τοῖς ποσὶν αὐτοῦ συνεπάτει·
