2 Maccabees 4:7–10

⁷But after the death of ^kSeleucus, when ^lAntiochus, called Epiphanes, took the kingdom, ^mJason the brother of Onias ^mmlaboured underhand to be high priest, ⁸promising unto the king by ⁿintercession three hundred and threescore talents of silver, and of another revenue eighty talents: ⁹beside this, he promised to assign an hundred and fifty more, if he might have licence to set him up ^oa place for exercise, and for the training up of youth in the fashions of the heathen, and to write them of Jerusalem by the name of ^pAntiochians. ¹⁰Which when the king had granted, and he had gotten into his hand the rule, he forthwith ^qbrought his own nation to the ^tGreekish fashion.
