In Ezra 6:15, the singular construct form occurs in the dating clause concerning the third day of the month Adar; the APB renders the verse "on the third day of the month Adar." In Daniel 4:26, the plural absolute form occurs in a statement about a period before recognition that the heavens rule, though the APB does not plainly isolate the term's contribution.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly includes "month Adar" in Ezra 6:15. In Daniel 4:26, its wording presents the period as "from the time," so the lemma's specific rendering is not isolated by the translation.
