1 Maccabees

1 Maccabees 10:32

ἀφίημι καὶ τὴν ἐξουσίαν τῆς ἄκρας τῆς ἐν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ δίδωμι τῷ ἀρχιερεῖ, ὅπως ἂν καταστήσῃ ἐν αὐτῇ ἄνδρας, οὓς ἂν αὐτὸς ἐκλέξηται, τοῦ φυλάσσειν αὐτήν.
King James Version (KJV)

And as for the tower which is at Jerusalem, I yield up my authority over it, and give it to the high priest, that he may set in it such men as he shall choose to keep it.

Modern English

As for the citadel in Jerusalem, I relinquish my authority over it and hand it to the high priest, so he may station in it whomever he chooses to guard it.
