2 Maccabees

2 Maccabees 13:4

ὁ δὲ βασιλεὺς τῶν βασιλέων ἐξήγειρεν τὸν θυμὸν τοῦ Ἀντιόχου ἐπὶ τὸν ἀλιτήριον, καὶ Λυσίου ὑποδείξαντος τοῦτον αἴτιον εἶναι πάντων τῶν κακῶν, προσέταξεν, ὡς ἔθος ἐστὶν ἐν τῷ τόπῳ, προσαπολέσαι ἀγαγόντας εἰς Βέροιαν.
King James Version (KJV)

But the King of kings moved Antiochus' mind against this wicked wretch, and Lysias informed the king that this man was the cause of all mischief, so that the king commanded to bring him unto Berea, and to put him to death, as the manner is in that place.

Modern English

But the King of kings stirred up Antiochus's anger against this wicked man, and when Lysias informed the king that Menelaus was the real cause of all the trouble, the king ordered him taken to Beroea and put to death in the manner customary there.
