Decoding the book of Revelation step by step

There are manuscripts or copies of the book of Revelation that have the number 616 instead of 666 for the number of the beast, such as Papyrus 115. You can read about it in here:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papyrus_115 How is that possible? In the blog about the Beast from the Sea  we discussed that this beast represents the Roman Empire.
