Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, How long shall be the vision about the continual burnt offering, and the disobedience that makes desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the army to be trodden under foot?

A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
The sanctuary and host 'trampled underfoot' (LXX katapateo) for a fixed number of days; Rev's 'tread the holy city under foot' echoes this Danielic profanation-of-the-holy-place with a numbered duration. Strong on the trampling verb and the apocalyptic time-limit structure.
High confidenceDaniel asks how long the vision of the transgression that makes desolate, the sanctuary and host trampled underfoot, will last. Jesus' 'desolation' plus 'Jerusalem trampled by the Gentiles until... fulfilled' fuses this trampling-of-the-sanctuary imagery with a temporal limit. Strong conceptual overlap of trampling and desolation.
Medium confidenceDaniel 8:13's 'transgression that makes desolate' giving over the sanctuary and host to be trampled is part of the same Danielic abomination complex underlying the desecration of the holy place.
