In Daniel 3:5 and Daniel 3:10, the feminine singular absolute form stands among instruments whose sound accompanies the command to fall down and worship the golden image. Daniel 3:7 shows the peoples responding after hearing that same musical list, while Daniel 3:15 repeats it in the king's renewed demand; the APB renders the list with “the trigon.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Daniel 3:5, Daniel 3:7, Daniel 3:10, and Daniel 3:15, the APB includes “the trigon” in the repeated list of instruments. This rendering confirms the list's overall presentation rather than isolating every lexical detail.
