Papyrus 967

Papyrus 967 (also signed as TM 61933, LDAB 3090) is a 3rd-century CE[1] biblical manuscript, discovered in 1931.

It is notable for containing fragments of the original Septuagint text of the Book of Daniel, which was completely superseded by a revised text by the end of the 4th century and elsewhere survives only in Syriac translation and in Codex Chisianus 88.

The exact circumstances of the find are unclear, but the ancient Aphroditopolis is assumed to be the place where it was found.

The pages are written in one column with an average of 42 lines in a square uncial.

This perhaps reflects an old canon boundary, to which the book of Esther (long disputed) was added.
