English: So when they were gone forth, the king set meats before Bel. Now Daniel had commanded his servants to bring ashes, and those they strewed throughout all the temple in the presence of the king alone: then went they out, and shut the door, and sealed it with the king's signet, and so departed.
Coptic: νιουηβ δε ον. αυι ον επιερφει κατα τουκαhσ. νεμ νουhιομι νεμ νουsηρι αυουωμ ννιkρηουι τηρου. ουοh αυσω μπιηρπ.
