Revelation 8:7

Καὶ ὁ πρῶτος ἐσάλπισε, καὶ ἐγένετο χάλαζα καὶ πῦρ μεμιγμένα ἐν αἵματι, καὶ ἐβλήθη εἰς τὴν γῆν· καὶ τὸ τρίτον τῆς γῆς κατεκάη, καὶ τὸ τρίτον τῶν δένδρων κατεκάη, καὶ πᾶς χόρτος χλωρὸς κατεκάη.

RBT Translation:

The Fake Pastures Burned Up

And the First one trumpeted, and she became a hailstorm and fire, those that have been mixed within blood, and she was cast into the Earth and the Third One of the Earth was burned up, and the Third One of the Trees was burned up, and every tender-shoot colored pasture was burned up.¹²

LITV Translation:
And the first angel trumpeted. And hail and fire mixed with blood occurred. And it was cast onto the earth; and the third part of the trees was burned down; and all green grass was burned down.

ESV Translation:
The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and these were thrown upon the earth. And a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.

Footnotes

The Greek κατεκάη is in the 3rd person singular in this verse. Translating this phrase in the plural, "a third of trees were burned up" ignores this fact.

τὸ τρίτον (to triton) is not commonly used in Classical Greek to express a fraction (i.e. a third). Classical Greek typically used a different construction to express fractions. The word "τρίτον" could mean "a third" as a part of a whole, but it is more common to see fractions expressed using the genitive case with the word "μοῖρα" (moira), which means "part" or "portion." So we would expect to see "τρίτον μέρος" (triton meros) "a third part" if that was the intended meaning. In mathematical or technical contexts, the Greeks often used specific numerical terms, such as "τριτημόριον" (tritēmorion) for "a third."

Hence out translation, "the Third One".
