John,
In Ziegler's critical edition of 1954 Dan 4 OG has only 34 verses and
the same is true for Munnich's reworked edition (1999). Only in
Rahlfs edition does the chapter have 37 verses.
Only Rahlfs reads OG as you do. Ziegler (1954) has hOTI hEIS ESTI
QEOS while Munnich has hOTI hEIS ESTIN hO QEOS.
