16
Lucius, consul of the Romans, unto King Ptolemy, greeting:
17
The Jews' ambassadors, our friends and confederates, came unto us to renew the old friendship and league, being sent from Simon the high priest and from the people of the Jews;
18
and they brought a shield of gold of a thousand pounds.
20
It seemed also good to us to receive the shield from them.
