The determined masculine plural form names an official group alongside other offices in Daniel 3:2, where the APB renders the gathering of provincial authorities for the image's dedication. In Daniel 6:2 the group is to give account to three officials, while Daniel 6:7 places it among those consulting to establish a royal statute; Daniel 3:27 shows the group assembling to observe the men after the fire.
In the Anselm Paraphrase: Across the supplied verses, the APB consistently presents the term as “satraps,” usually in lists of officials and in clauses concerning assembly, accountability, or consultation. Because the paraphrase is not word-aligned, those English clauses confirm the setting rather than isolate every contribution of the term.
