Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to briefly introduce the Society of Biblical Literature Commentary on Septuagint of Daniel. The commentary is designed to elucidate the meaning of the Old Greek (OG-Dan) and Theodotion (Th-Dan) versions, using a text-as-produced methodology. The application of this methodology to Septuagint Daniel affords unique insights, in which both the challenges and the opportunities are simultaneously present. As such, this paper highlights three directions of investigation that underscore the complexity of our task: the character to Th-Dan as a revision; the special nature of OG-Dan 4–6, which presupposes a parallel Semitic edition which differs from MT; and the Additions to Daniel of whose Semitic underlying texts are lost.
