Dear Rosangela Lira,

A very interesting question! Both translations seem possible (at least this
is what several scholars have told me); thus, either the little horn is said
to be coming from one of the four horns or it came from one of the "winds"
(= directions). Either way, I think the point is that the little horn came
from one of the Hellenistic kingdoms (viz. Syria).
For more details on the syntax, see the forthcoming study (on Dan 8) by
Martin Pröbstle.
