3 Maccabees 4:1
Thomson 1808
not in this edition
Brenton 1851
Wherever this decree was received, the people kept up a revelry of joy and shouting; as if their long-pent-up, hardened hatred, were now to shew itself openly.
Greek · Brenton
Παντῇ δὲ ὅπου προσέπιπτε τοῦτο τὸ πρόσταγμα, δημοτελὴς συνίστατο τοῖς ἔθνεσιν εὐωχία μετὰ ἀλαλαγμῶν καὶ χαρᾶς, ὡς ἄν τῆς προκατεσκιῤῥωμένης αὐτοῖς πάλαι κατὰ διάνοιαν, μετὰ παῤῥησίας συνεκφαινομένης ἀπεχθείας.
