4 Maccabees 5:6-8

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁶ ‘Before I begin to torture you, old man, I would advise you to save yourself by eating pork, ⁷ for I respect your age and your grey hairs. Although you have had them for so long a time, it does not seem to me that you are a philosopher when you observe the religion of the Jews. ⁸ When nature has granted it to us, why should you abhor eating the very excellent meat of this animal?
