Jason’s Reforms
7When Seleucus died and Antiochus, who was called Epiphanes, succeeded to the kingdom, Jason the brother of Onias obtained the high priesthood by corruption,* 8promising the king through a petition three hundred sixty talents of silver and from another source of revenue eighty talents.* 9In addition to this he promised to pay one hundred fifty more if permission were given to establish by his authority a gymnasium and a body of youth for it and to enroll the people of Jerusalem as the Antiochenes in Jerusalem.* 10When the king assented and Jasonn came to office, he at once shifted his compatriots over to the Greek way of life.*
