    Liber II Machabaeorum

    2 Maccabees

    21

    Igitur Antiochus mille et octingentis ablatis de templo talentis, velociter Antiochiam regressus est, existimans se præ superbia terram ad navigandum, pelagus vero ad iter agendum deducturum propter mentis elationem.

    So when Antiochus had taken away out of the temple a thousand and eight hundred talents, he went back in all haste to Antioch, thinking through pride that he might now make the land navigable, and the sea passable on foot: such was the haughtiness of his mind.

    Ergo Antiocho mile et octingenti aufer de templo talentes, velociter Antiochia regredior es, existima se prae superbia terra ad naviga, pelago vero ad itinere age deduce propter mente elatione.
