Dan 2:20,Dan 2:21, Dan 5:11; Ecc 7:19; Act 7:22\nability: Dan 1:17-20; Pro 22:29\na daily: Atheneus says the kings of Persia were accustomed to order for their courtiers the food left at their tables.

Hence Atheneus calls the beasts served up at the tables of the Persian kings, \u03b9\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03b1, victims. Daniel was therefore resolved not to defile himself with their viands; yet he did not rudely refuse what was intended as a kindness, but mildly and modestly requested the proper officers to indulge him in this respect.
