Quotation1
A formal citation — high verbal volume, often introduced by a saying-formula.
'I am Gabriel' explicitly names the angel of Daniel 8:16 and 9:21, the only OT figure to bear this name. The self-identification is effectively a citation of the Danielic character, confirming the apocalyptic frame retroactively over the whole scene.
High confidenceAllusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
The 'angel of the Lord' standing by the altar is, per 1:19, Gabriel, the interpreting angel of Daniel 8:16. Even before he is named, the apocalyptic visitation at the sanctuary is shaped by Daniel; high distinctiveness given Gabriel appears only in Daniel within the canon.
