Commentary for Daniel 5:28

פְּרֵ֑ס פְּרִיסַת֙ מַלְכוּתָ֔ךְ וִיהִיבַ֖ת לְמָדַ֥י וּפָרָֽס׃

PERES, thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.’

Rashi on Daniel

Your kingdom has been broken up, etc. i.e., UFARSIN means two definitions of PEREIS; one is that your kingdom פְּרִיסַת, your kingdom has been broken up, and the second one is that it has been given to Media and Persia (וּפָּרַס).
