Dans la troisième année de Cyrus, roi de Perse, une révélation fut faite à Daniel, qui avait reçu le surnom de Beltchaçar; véridique était cette révélation et à longue portée. Il s’appliqua à s’en rendre compte et eut la claire intelligence de la vision:
Rashi
The years were partial: There are some of those years that we counted above, the beginning of which were absorbed in the previous year. For example, we counted five years for Darius the Mede and Cyrus - you will only find four. As it is written about the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus in the book of Daniel (10:1), "In the third year of the reign of Cyrus, etc." And we learned in Seder Olam: We only exclusively found one year for [the reign] of Media in the [holy] writings. And we found three years for Cyrus in the book of Daniel (10:1), "In the third year of the reign of Cyrus, etc." And we also learned in Seder Olam: Cyrus reigned for three partial years. Behold you counted an extra year (five instead of four). And also, since a year was absorbed in the years of Nebuchadnezzar and Evil-merodach. So corresponding to this, the building waited two years [at the time of the second] Darius.
