2 Maccabees 12:1-3

Wycliffe Bible

12 when these covenants were made, Lysias went to the king; forsooth (the) Jews gave work to earth-tilling.

² But these that dwelt, or were resident, Timothy (or Timotheus), and Apollonius, the son of Gennaeus, but and Jerome, and Demophon proud, and Nicanor, prince of Cyprus, suffered not them (or did not allow them) for to do (or to be) in silence and quiet, or rest.

³ Forsooth men of Joppa have done such a felony; they prayed (the) Jews with which they dwelt, for to go up, with (their) wives, and sons, into small boats, which they had made ready, as if none enmities lay privily among them.
