The article analyses influences on religious attitudes of Palestinian Jews on the eve of the Antiochean crisis, which resulted in an »inner conversion« to an »apocalyptic« way of thinking. Especially the historical allusions in the Old Greek version of Dan 8,9 match with the events around the conquests of Coele-Syria by Antiochos the Great at the turn of the third to the second century BC. Furthermore, the notice on the emancipation of slaves in Dan 8,11 (OG) recalls a decree of Antiochos III (cf. Ant 12,138–144). The »tolerant« attitude of the Seleucids to religious activity which is evident here finds further confirmation in measures of Antiochos III which are attested in inscriptions from Hefzibah and Caria.
