  Description: P.Bodmer 44 consists of 73 damaged parchment leaves containing the book of Daniel in Bohairic. All of the pages have suffered damage to the edges, and the text has large, decorative initial letters that project into the margin. The measurements given here refer to the written area from the left margin of the regular letters (not the ornate letters in the margin) to the last visible ink on the right side. Five leaves of the same codex are in the Palau Ribes collection in Barcelona.
