This is a pretty simple phrase.  I think one must be very careful here to 
insure that these "allusions" to Daniel are not simply part of the literary 
genre of apocalyptic literature.  You would have to make a complete study of 
the many exta-biblical examples that have come down to us. The Old Testament 
examples are not a large enough corpus to make this determination.  .

Does anyone know if the Pseudoepigrapha is available in an electronic format 
for this type of search?
