Daniel 6:28

Daniel was successful (promoted, honored, wealthy, and powerful) during the reign of Darius and (also) during the reign of Cyrus (Hebr. Koresh) of Persia.
[The text can be read in two ways. Either it describes how Darius and Cyrus are two contemporary leaders. In that case, Darius is the governor whom Cyrus appointed over the city of Babylon, and who historically could be a general named Gubaru, see Dan. 1:1. The Hebrew conjunction Vav is usually translated as "and," but can also be translated as "also." In that case, the second part becomes an explanation and clarification: "also, that is, during the reign of the Persian Cyrus." Dan then indicates that the Median Darius, see Dan. 5:31, is the same person as the Persian Cyrus. What complicates the interpretation is that the same people have different names in different regions, which also applies to Daniel and his friends, see Dan. 1:7. Hopefully, future archaeological finds mentioning Darius' name will help in the interpretation here.]
