2 Maccabees 5:7-9
Wycliffe Bible

8 And at the last into (the) undoing of him, he was closed together of Aretas (or he was accused before Aretas), (the) tyrant of (the) Arabians, and flew [or fleeing] from city into city, and was odious to all men, as (an) apostate, or (a) forsaker of (the) laws, and abominable, as (an) enemy of (his) country and citizens, and was cast out into Egypt.
9 And he that had put out many of their country, perished in pilgrimage, and went [or going] to (the) Lacedaemonians, (or to the Spartans), as for cousinage to have there refuge.
