2 Maccabees 4:45-47
Wycliffe Bible
45 And when Menelaus was overcome, he promised for to give many riches [or many monies] to Ptolemy, for to counsel the king.
46 Therefore Ptolemy went to the king, set in some porch, as for cause of refreshing, either colding, [or cooling], and led away from (the) sentence;[.]
47 and (he) assoiled (or absolved) from (the) crimes Menelaus, guilty truly of all the malice [or And he assoiled (or absolved) Menelaus, guilty truly of crimes, of all the malice]. Forsooth he damned or condemned by death these wretches, which should be deemed innocents, yea, if they had led cause with (the) Scythians.
