The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): Et non cessabant qui miserant eos ministri regis succendere fornacem, naphtha, et stuppa, et pice, et malleolis,
Septuagint (Swete): Καὶ οὐ διέλειπον οἱ ἐμβάλλοντες αὐτοὺς ὑπηρέται τοῦ βασιλέως καίοντες τὴν κάμινον νάφθαν καὶ πίσσαν καὶ στιππύον καὶ κληματίδα.
Hebrew (WLC): The Hebrew Daniel has no such verse: the prayer of Azarias and the song of the three children are in the Greek alone.

Haydock's commentary

Brimstone. Literally, naphtha, (Haydock) or bitumen, which was very inflammable.

Tow, besmeared with pitch. (Calmet)

Dry (malleolis) "bundles" of sticks, or ropes, covered with pitch. (Haydock)

Manipuli spartœi pice contecti. (Nonius.)
