Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ But after the death of Seleucus, when Antiochus, who was called the Illustrious, had taken possession of the kingdom, Jason the brother of Onias ambitiously sought the high priesthood:

⁸ And went to the king, promising him three hundred and sixty talents of silver, and out of other revenues fourscore talents.

⁹ Besides this he promised also a hundred and fifty more, if he might have license to set him up a place for exercise, and a place for youth, and to entitle them, that were at Jerusalem, Antiochians.
