    Liber II Machabaeorum

    2 Maccabees

    11

    His itaque gestis, suspicatus est rex societatem deserturos Judæos: et ob hoc profectus ex Ægypto efferatis animis, civitatem quidem armis cepit.

    Now when these things were done, the king suspected that the Jews would forsake the alliance: whereupon departing out of Egypt with a furious mind, he took the city by force of arms,

    Hoc itaque gere, suspicor es rege societate desere Iudaeos: et ob hoc proficiscor ex Aegypto effera animos, civitate quidem armas cape.
