2 Maccabees 4:27-29

Wycliffe Bible

²⁷ But Menelaus forsooth wielded the princehood, but of (or as for) (the) riches promised to the king he did nothing, when Sostratus, that was (the) sovereign of the high tower, made exaction, or masterful asking, [But Menelaus forsooth wielded the princehood, but of (or as for) (the) monies promised to the king he had nothing, when Sostratus, that was provost of the high rock, made exaction, or unjust asking,]

²⁸ for why raising [or extraction] of tributes pertained to him; for which cause both were called to the king.

²⁹ And Menelaus was removed from (the) priesthood, and Lysimachus, his brother, was (his) successor; soothly Sostratus was made sovereign of (the) men of Cyprus.
