2 Maccabees 4:30-32

Wycliffe Bible

³⁰ And when these things were done, it befell (to them of) Tarsus and Mallus for to move debate, for that they were given in gift to the concubine of Antiochus, the king.

³¹ Therefore the king hastily came, for to assuage them, and left one of his earls suffectus (or suffect consuls), Andronicus, in dignity, or (as his) lieutenant.

³² Forsooth Menelaus deemed that he had taken covenable (or opportune) time, and stole some golden vessels of (or from) the temple, and gave (some of them) to Andronicus, and he sold to Tyre others, and by (or to) (the) nigh cities. [Forsooth Menelaus deeming him for to have taken covenable time, stealing some golden vessels of the temple, gave to Andronicus, and others he sold to Tyre, and by nigh cities.]
