2 Maccabees 12:33-35

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³³ And he came out with three thousand footmen, and four hundred horsemen.

³⁴ And when they had joined battle, it happened that a few of the Jews were slain.

³⁵ But Dositheus, a horseman, one of Bacenor's band, a valiant man, took hold of Gorgias: and when he would have taken him alive, a certain horseman of the Thracians came upon him, and cut off his shoulder: and so Gorgias escaped to Maresa.
