2 Maccabees 11:38 CPDV

³⁶  But about such things as he judged should be referred to the king, send someone, as soon as you have diligently conferred among yourselves, so that we may make a decree, just as it is agreeable to you. For we are going to Antioch.

³⁷  And, therefore, make haste to write back, so that we may know whatever your will may be.

³⁸  Farewell. In the one hundred forty-eighth year, on the fifteenth day of the month of Xanthicus.'
