Nå, selv om Antiochus mente seg foraktet, og mistenkte at det var en hånlig tale, ble han mens den yngste fortsatt levde, ikke bare oppmuntret med ord, men også forsikret med eder, at han ville gjøre ham både rik og lykkelig mann, hvis han ville vende seg bort fra sine fedres lover; og også at han ville ta ham som sin venn og stole på ham med saker.
Now Antiochus, thinking himself despised, and suspecting it to be a reproachful speech, whilst the youngest was yet alive, did not only exhort him by words, but also assured him with oaths, that he would make him both a rich and a happy man, if he would turn from the laws of his fathers; and that also he would take him for his friend, and trust him with affairs.
