2 Maccabees 15:35-37

Wycliffe Bible

³⁵ Forsooth he hanged up Nicanor’s head in the highest tower, (so) that it were (an) evident, or known, and open sign of the help of God.

³⁶ Therefore all men, by common counsel, deemed in no manner for to pass this day without solemnity, but for to have solemnity [or worshipping] in (or on) the thirteenth day of the month Adar, that is said, by voice of Syria, (or in the Syrian language), the first day of Mordecai.

³⁷ Therefore when these things were done against Nicanor, and of those times when the city was wielded of (or by) (the) Hebrews, also I in these things shall make an end of (my) word(s).
