Echo2
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
Cornelius's 'I was fasting until this hour, and at the ninth hour I prayed' echoes Daniel's seeking God 'by prayer and supplications, with fasting' as the disposition that precedes angelic revelation. Faint.
Low confidenceSackcloth and ashes as the posture of contrition appears in Daniel's penitential prayer, part of a recurring biblical idiom for mourning and repentance. It is a stock-phrase echo supplying availability rather than a specific allusion.
