Latin
1The leader of his brethren and the pride of his people
was Simon the high priest, son of Onias,
who in his life repaired the house,
and in his time fortified the temple.
2He laid the foundations for the high double walls,n
the high retaining walls for the temple enclosure.
3In his days a cistern for water was quarried out,o
a reservoir like the sea in circumference.
