2 Maccabees 5:22-24

Wycliffe Bible

²² Forsooth he left also sovereigns, to torment the folk, in Jerusalem soothly Philip, of the kin of (the) Phyrgians, crueler than himself in manners, of whom he was ordained; [Forsooth he left provosts, to torment the folk, in Jerusalem soothly Philip, of the kin of Phyrgians, in manners crueler than himself, of whom he is ordained;]

²³ forsooth in Gerizim, Andronicus and Menelaus, which more grievously than others lay on, [or annoyed, (or harmed)], (the) citizens. And when he was set against (the) Jews,

²⁴ he sent an odious prince, Apollonius, with an host (of) two and twenty thousands, and commanded to him [or commanding to him] for to slay all of perfect age, (and) for to sell (the) women and young children.
