I am intrigued about the relation ship between these two.
The ESB has this footnote -
On this view, 6:28 should be understood as, “during the reign of Darius the Mede, that is, the reign of Cyrus the Persian.”​

How flexible is the Aramaic here?

Daniel knew Cyrus yet seems to prefer speaking of Darius? Did Cyrus exert a brief reign? What does the board think and why
