2 Maccabees 4:27-29

Revised Standard Version

²⁷ And Menela′us held the office, but he did not pay regularly any of the money promised to the king. ²⁸ When So′stratus the captain of the citadel kept requesting payment, for the collection of the revenue was his responsibility, the two of them were summoned by the king on account of this issue. ²⁹ Menela′us left his own brother Lysim′achus as deputy in the high priesthood, while So′stratus left Crates, the commander of the Cyprian troops.
