When Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house (now his windows were open in his room toward Jerusalem) and he kneeled on his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did before.

Echo2
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
Kneeling for prayer as a marked act of piety before adversity echoes Daniel kneeling three times a day; the connection is gestural rather than verbal, low volume, but coheres with the motif of prayer in the face of coming persecution.
Low confidence'Praying at all times in the Spirit... in all perseverance' (6:18) coheres with the OT pattern of unceasing, regular prayer exemplified by Daniel's thrice-daily petition. The connection is to a devotional topos rather than a specific text, so a faint echo.
Low confidence◇ Figural1
A typological pattern re-read in a later text — no verbal quotation, high figural coherence.
Daniel defies the royal decree to continue worshiping God, modeling principled obedience to God over human authority, the stance Peter articulates in v. 29.
