Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
A stone laid over the lions' den and 'sealed' with the king's signet so that nothing might be changed concerning Daniel — closely parallels the rolling and 'sealing' of the stone to secure Jesus' tomb (the righteous one shut in by a sealed stone, then divinely vindicated).
Medium confidenceEcho1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
The stone laid on the lions' den 'sealed (LXX esphragisato) with the king's own signet... that the purpose might not be changed' — verbal/conceptual parallel to shutting and sealing over the abyss so the dragon cannot escape. Faint, contested.
