| 5:1 | Βαλτασὰρ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐποίησεν ἑστιατορίαν μεγάλην τοῖς ροις αὐτοῦ. |
| 5:2 | καὶ ἔπινεν οἶνον, καὶ ἀνυψώθη ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπεν ἐνέγκαι τὰ σκεύη τὰ χρυσᾶ καὶ τὰ ἀργυρᾶ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ θεοῦ, ἃ ἤνεγκε Ναβουχοδονοσὸρ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ Ἰερουσαλήμ, καὶ οἰνοχοῆσαι ἐν αὐτοῖς τοῖς ἑταίροις αὐτοῦ. |
| 5:3 | καὶ ἠνέχθη, καὶ ἕπινον ἐν αὐτοῖς· |
| 5:4 | καὶ ηὐλόγουν τὰ εἴδωλα τὰ χειροποίητα αὐτῶν, καὶ τὸν θεὸν τοῦ αἰῶνος οὐκ εὐλόγησαν τὸν ἔχοντα τὴν ἐξουσίαν τοῦ πνεύματος αὐτῶν. |
| 5:5 | ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐξῆλθον δάκτυλοι ὡσεὶ χειρὸς ἀνθρώπου καὶ ἔγραψαν ἐπὶ τοῦ τοίχου τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τοῦ κονιάματος κατέναντι τοῦ φωτὸς ἔναντι τοῦ βασιλέως Βαλτασάρ, καὶ εἶδε χεῖρα γράφουσαν. |
| 5:6 | καὶ ἡ ὄρασις αὐτοῦ ἠλλοιώθη, καὶ φόβοι καὶ ὑπόνοιαι αὐτὸν κατέσπευδον. ἔσπευσεν οὖν ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ ἐξανέστη, καὶ ἑώρα τὴν γραφὴν ἐκείνην, καὶ οἱ συνεταῖροι κύκλῳ αὐτοῦ ἐκαυχῶντο. |
| 5:7 | καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐφώνησε φωνῇ μεγάλῃ καλέσαι τοὺς ἐπαοιδοὺς καὶ φαρμακοὺς καὶ Χαλδαίους καὶ γαζαρηνούς, ἀπαγγεῖλαι τὸ σύγκριμα τῆς γραφῆς. καὶ εἰσεπορεύοντο ἐπὶ θεωρίαν ἰδεῖν τὴν γραφήν, καὶ τὸ σύγκριμα τῆς γραφῆς οὐκ ἐδύναντο συγκρῖναι τῷ βασιλεῖ τότε ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐξέθηκε πρόσταγμα λέγων Πᾶς ἀνὴρ ὃς ἂν ὑποδείξῃ τὸ σύγκριμα τῆς γραφῆς, στολιεῖ αὐτὸν πορφύραν, καὶ μανιάκην χρυσοῦν περιθήσει αὐτῷ, καὶ δοθήσεται αὐτῷ ἐξουσία τοῦ τρίτου μέρους τῆς βασιλείας. |
| 5:8 | καὶ εἰσεπορεύοντο οἱ ἐπαοιδοὶ καὶ φαρμακοὶ καὶ γαζαρηνοί, καὶ οὐκ ἡδύνατο οὐδεὶς τὸ σύγκριμα τῆς γραφῆς ἀπαγγεῖλαι. |
| 5:9 | τότε ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐκάλεσε τὴν βασίλισσαν περὶ τοῦ σημείου, καὶ ὑπέδειξεν αὐτῇ ὡς μέγα ἐστί, καὶ ὅτι πᾶς ἄνθρωπος οὐ δύναται ἀπαγγεῖλαι τῷ βασιλεῖ τὸ σύγκριμα τῆς γραφῆς. |
| 5:10 | τότε ἡ βασίλισσα ἐμνήσθη πρὸς αὐτὸν περὶ τοῦ Δανιήλ, ὃς ἦν ἐκ τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας τῆς Ἰουδαίας, |
| 5:11 | καὶ εἶπεν τῷ βασιλεῖ ἄνθρωπος ἐπιστήμων ἦν καὶ σοφὸς καὶ ὑπερέχων πάντας τοὺς σοφοὺς Βαβυλῶνος, |
| 5:12 | καὶ πνεῦμα ἅγιον ἐν αὐτῷ ἐστι, καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τοῦ πατρός σου τοῦ βασιλέως συγκρίματα ὑπέρογκα ὑπέδειξε Ναβουχοδονοσὸρ τῷ πατρί σου. |
| 5:13 | Τότε Δανιὴλ εἰσήχθη πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα, καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ βασιλεὺς εἶπεν αὐτῷ |
| 5:16 | Ὦ Δανιήλ, δύνῃ μοι ὑποδεῖξαι τὸ σύγκριμα τῆς γραφῆς; καὶ στολιῶ σε πορφύραν καὶ μανιάκην χρυσοῦν περιθήσω σοι, καὶ ἕξεις ἐξουσίαν τοῦ τρίτου μέρους τῆς βασιλείας μου. |
| 5:17 | τότε Δανιὴλ ἔστη κατέναντι τῆς γραφῆς καὶ ἀνέγνω, καὶ οὕτως ἀπεκρίθη τῷ βασιλεῖ Αὕτη ἡ γραφή Ἠρίθμηται, κατελογίσθη, ἐξῆρται καὶ ἔστη ἡ γράψασα χείρ. καὶ αὕτη ἡ σύγκρισις αὐτῶν. |
| 5:23 | Βασιλεῦ, σὺ ἐποιήσω ἑστιατορίαν τοῖς φίλοις σου καὶ ἔπινες οἶνον, καὶ τὰ σκεύη τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ζῶντος ἠνέχθη σοι καὶ ἐπίνετε ἐν αὐτοῖς, σὺ καὶ οἱ μεγιστᾶνἐς σου, καὶ ήνέσατε πάντα τὰ εἴδωλα τὰ χειροποίητα τῶν ἀνθρώπων, καὶ τῷ θεῷ τῷ ζῶντι οὐκ εὐλογήσατε, καὶ τὸ πνεῦμά σου ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸ βασίλειόν σου αὐτὸς ἔδωκέ σοι, καὶ οὐκ εὐλόγησας αὐτὸν οὐδὲ ᾔνεσας αὐτῷ. |
| 5:26 | τοῦτο τὸ σύγκριμα τῆς γραφῆς Ἠρίθμηται ὁ χρόνος σου τῆς βασιλείας, ἀπολήγει ἡ βασιλεία σου· |
| 5:27 | συντέτμηται καὶ συντετέλεσται |
| 5:28 | ἡ βασιλεία σου τοῖς Μήδοις καὶ τοῖς Πέρσαις δίδοται. |
| 5:29 | τότε Βαλτασὰρ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐνέδυσε τὸν Δανιὴλ πορφύραν, καὶ μανιάκην χρυσοῦν περιέθηκεν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἔδωκεν ἐξουσίαν αὐτῷ τοῦ τρίτου μέρους τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ. |
| 5:30 | καὶ τὸ σύγκριμα ἐπῆλθε Βαλτασὰρ τῷ βασιλεῖ, καὶ τὸ βασίλειον ἐξῆρται ἀπὸ τῶν Χαλδαίων καὶ ἐδόθη τοῖς Μήδοις καὶ τοῖς Πέρσαις. |
| 5:31 | καὶ Ἀρταξέρξης ὁ τῶν Μήδων παρέλαβε τὴν βασιλείαν. |

What the layers are
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.
For Egyptian texts: the transliteration with the editors' marks turned into the symbols ° * < > _ ^ (ruled 2026-09-10). For papyri: the edition's Leiden marks as the same symbols, and the editors' readings beside the scribe's as ‹scribe→editors› (ruled PAP-3).
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
