2 Maccabees 4:29

29 Now Menelaus left his brother Lysimachus in his stead in the priesthood; and Sostratus left Crates, who was governor of the Cyprians.

2 Maccabees 4:29 In-Context

27 So Menelaus got the principality; but as for the money that he had promised unto the king, he failed to deal with it accordingly, albeit Sostratus the ruler of the castle required it,
28 for unto him appertained the gathering of the customs. Therefore they were both called before the king.
29 Now Menelaus left his brother Lysimachus in his stead in the priesthood; and Sostratus left Crates, who was governor of the Cyprians.
30 While those things were being done, those of Tarsus and Mallus made insurrection, because they were given to the king's concubine, called Antiochis.
31 Then came the king in all haste to appease matters, leaving Andronicus, a man in authority, for his deputy.
