Haydock's commentary
Year, from the death of his father, Nabopolassar; for he had reigned before as partner with his father, in the empire. (Challoner)
In that quality he conquered Syria, (in the year of the world 3397) took Daniel, &c. in the year 3399. He succeeded his father. (Usher) (Calmet)
After he had enlarged his empire by the conquest of Egypt, &c. he had this dream. (A. R. 25.[in the 25th year of his reign?]) (Worthington)
Mind. Septuagint, "his sleep departed from him." (Haydock)
He was restless, recollecting enough to fill him with trouble. When the dream was repeated over, he knew that it was the same. (Calmet)
