There is a difference of tradition in the reading of the Syriac expression ܒܪ ܫ̈ܢܝ meaning "of the same age". Some (such as PSm, citing Arabic) take it from "tooth" rather than "year". Thus we must allow both possibilities. In the Peshitta of Daniel 1:10 the tradition of reading only 'tooth' is clear.
