    In Daniel 6:18, the feminine singular absolute noun occurs in the report of the king's night at his palace; the APB renders the clause, “no diversions were brought before him,” alongside his fasting and sleeplessness.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Daniel 6:18, the APB presents the clause as “no diversions were brought before him.” This identifies the clause's presentation rather than a precise token-by-token rendering.
