This paper is dedicated to the Old Paper Apocrypha, which speaks about emperor Nebuchadnezzar. The starting point of the Apocrypha is the second chapter of the Book of the prophet Danilo with considerable deviations. The basis is the interpretation of the Nebuchadnezzar's forgotten dream, whose explication is made by the prophet Samoil. The apocryphal and biblical texts are comparatively analyzed. It was pointed out to the anticipation and symbolic function of the dream in other Old Testament stories. The work examines paleographical and orthographical characteristics of the text. The supplement features the adapted text of The story of prophet Samoil, from XIV century.
