Gill's Notes on the Bible
In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar,.... Which some say t was the last year of his reign; but, according to Ptolemy's canon, he reigned seventeen years; and so says Josephus u; however, this, as well as the preceding vision, were seen before what happened recorded in the "fifth" and "sixth" chapters. The following vision was seen by Daniel, according to Bishop Usher w and Dean Prideaux x in the year of the world 3451 A.M., and 553 B.C. Mr. Bedford y places it in 552 B.C.; and Mr. Whiston z, very wrongly, in 537 B.C., two years after the death of Belshazzar. The prophet having, in the preceding chapters, related what concerned the Chaldeans, he wrote in the Chaldee language; but now, henceforward, writing of things which concerned the Jews more especially, and the church and people of God in later times, he writes in the Hebrew tongue.
A vision appeared unto me, even to me Daniel; and not another; which is said for the certainty of it; whether it was seen by him waking, or in a dream, as the former vision, is not certain; it seems rather as if he was awake at first, though he afterwards fell prostrate to the ground, and into a deep sleep; yet the Syriac version takes it to be a dream, and so renders the first clause of the next verse: "after that which appeared to me at the first"; at the beginning of Belshazzar's reign, in the first year of it, recorded in the preceding chapter; which was concerning the four monarchies in general, and particularly concerning the fourth or Roman monarchy, of which a large account is given; and the Chaldean monarchy being near at an end, here the two monarchies between, namely, the Persian and Grecian, are in this vision described.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar - In regard to Belshazzar, see Intro. to Daniel 5:0 Section II.
A vision appeared unto me - This vision appears to have occurred to him when awake, or in an ecstasy; the former one occurred when he was asleep, Daniel 7:1. Compare Daniel 8:17-18, where the prophet represents himself as overpowered, and as falling down to the earth on account of the vision. The representation would seem to have been made to pass before his mind in open day, and when he was fully awake. Compare the case of Balaam, Numbers 24:4 : âWhich saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open.â
After what appeared unto me at the first - That occurred in the first year of Belshazzar, Daniel 7:1.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER VIII
This chapter contains Daniel's vision of the ram and he-goat,
1-14;
referring, as explained by the angel, to the Persian and
Grecian monarchies, 15-26.
The little horn mentioned in the ninth verse, (or fierce king,
as interpreted in the twenty-third,) is supposed by some to
denote Antiochus Epiphanes; but seems more properly to apply to
the Roman power in general, by which the polity and temple of
the Jews were destroyed, on account of the great transgressions
of these ancient people of God; and particularly because of
their very obstinate and unaccountable rejection of the
glorious doctrines of Christianity, which had been preached
among them by Jesus Christ and his apostles, and the truth of
which God had attested "by signs and wonders, and by divers
miracles and gifts of the Holy Ghost." Daniel is then informed
of the two thousand and three hundred prophetic days (that is,
years) which must elapse before the sanctuary be cleansed; or,
in other words, before righteousness shall prevail over the
whole earth. This period is supposed, with considerable
probability to have had its commencement when Alexander the
Great invaded Asia, in the year before Christ 334. This will
bring the close of it to about the end of the SIXTH chiliad of
the world; when, as already observed, some astonishing changes
are expected to take place in the moral condition of the human
race; when the power of Antichrist, both Papal and Mohammedan,
shall be totally annihilated, and universal dominion given to
the saints of the Most High. The chapter concludes with the
distress of Daniel on account of the fearful judgments with
which his country should be visited in after ages, 27.
NOTES ON CHAP. VIII
Verse Daniel 8:1. In the third year of the reign of - Belshazzar — We now come once more to the Hebrew, the Chaldee part of the book being finished. As the Chaldeans had a particular interest both in the history and prophecies from Daniel 2:4 to the end of Daniel 7:28, the whole is written in Chaldee, but as the prophecies which remain concern times posterior to the Chaldean monarchy, and principally relate to the Church and people of God generally, they are written in the Hebrew language, this being the tongue in which God chose to reveal all his counsels given under the Old Testament relative to the New.
