2 Maccabees

2 Maccabees 1:36

προσηγόρευσαν δὲ οἱ περὶ τὸν Νεεμιαν τοῦτο νεφθαρ, ὃ διερμηνεύεται καθαρισμός· καλεῖται δὲ παρὰ τοῖς πολλοῖς νεφθαι.
King James Version (KJV)

And Neemias called this thing Naphthar, which is as much as to say, a cleansing: but many men call it Nephi.

Modern English

Nehemiah and his companions called the substance Nephthar, meaning 'purification,' though most people call it Nephi.
