Description	P. Pisa Lit. 38, van Haelst 321: Fragment containing Ode 8, Daniel 3:51b-52 This border fragment (3,8 x 4,2 cm) of a parchment sheet contains 7 fragmentary lines. Carlini assumes the fragment follows Theodotion’s version, due to the omission of καὶ ἐξύφουν in Daniel 3:51; it could also follow the Septuaginta. The verso is blank, but due to the vellum being very thin, the recto text is visible from the verso. Since it is one-sided, it is presumed not to have formed part of a codex, instead being a single sheet perhaps used for liturgical purposes.
