2 Maccabees 4:27-29

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁷ So Menelaus got the principality: but as for the money he had promised to the king he took no care, when Sostratus the governor of the castle called for it.

²⁸ For to him appertained the gathering of the taxes: wherefore they were both called before the king.

²⁹ And Menelaus was removed from the priesthood, Lysimachus his brother succeeding: and Sostratus was made governor of the Cyprians.
