Daniel and the Lions' Den
And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage. Dan. 6:2
And over these... These three men were of higher rank than the 120, and were closer to the king. It is unusual for a Hebrew to be over these Medes.
That the princes... These “princes” were responsible to prevent loss from military revolts, tax evasion or fraud.
Perhaps, the word had come to them of Daniel's reading the handwriting on the wall and interpreting it. These three presidents were next in command under the king. It appears that each of them was over 1/3 of the kingdom.
