   In Daniel 3:2, the determined masculine plural form appears among named officials whom the king sends to gather for the image’s dedication; the APB renders the list with “the treasurers.” In Daniel 3:3, the same form recurs in the corresponding list of officials who assembled and stood before the image, again rendered “the treasurers” in the APB.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Daniel 3:2 and Daniel 3:3, the APB includes “the treasurers” in parallel lists of officials. This reflects the term’s place in each verse’s list rather than establishing a finer distinction.
