This Greek term is the origin of the Aramaic פִסַנְטֵרִין and is used in the Septuagint and other Greek texts to refer to similar stringed instruments. Usage: The term פִסַנְטֵרִין is used in the context of musical instruments, specifically referring to a lyre or psaltery, which is a stringed instrument played by plucking. Context: פִסַנְטֵרִין (pisanterin) appears in the Aramaic sections of the Book of Daniel, specifically in Daniel 3:5, 3:7, 3:10, and 3:15. In these passages, the term is part of a list of musical instruments that were played during the dedication of King Nebuchadnezzar's golden image. The psalterion, or lyre, was among the instruments used to signal the people to worship the image. The use of this instrument highlights the cultural and musical influences present in the Babylonian empire, reflecting a blend of local and foreign elements, as the term itself is borrowed from Greek. The psalterion was likely a harp-like instrument, characterized by its strings which were plucked to produce music. This instrument played a role in the ceremonial and religious practices of the time, as indicated by its inclusion in the royal decree.
