    Liber II Machabaeorum

    2 Maccabees

    7

    Ducebantur autem cum amara necessitate in die natalis regis ad sacrificia: et cum Liberi sacra celebrarentur, cogebantur hedera coronati Libero circuire.

    But they were led by bitter constraint on the king's birthday to the sacrifices: and when the feast of Bacchus was kept, they were compelled to go about crowned with ivy in honour of Bacchus.

    Duc autem cum amaro necessitate in die natale de rege ad sacrificios: et cum Libro sacro celebra, coge hedera corona Libro circui.
