9 Beside this, he promised to assign a hundred and fifty more if he might have license to set up a place for exercise and for the training up of youth in the fashions of the heathen, and to designate them of Jerusalem by the name of Antiochians;

2 Maccabees 4:9 In-Context

7 But after the death of Seleucus when Antiochus, called Epiphanes, took the kingdom, Jason the brother of Onias labored underhandedly to be high priest,

8 promising unto the king by intercession three hundred and threescore talents of silver, and from another revenue eighty talents.

9 Beside this, he promised to assign a hundred and fifty more if he might have license to set up a place for exercise and for the training up of youth in the fashions of the heathen, and to designate them of Jerusalem by the name of Antiochians;

10 which, when the king had granted and he had gotten into his hand the rule, he forthwith brought his own nation to Greek fashion.

11 And the royal privileges granted of special favor to the Jews by the means of John the father of Eupolemus, who went as ambassador to Rome for amity and aid, he took away; and, putting down the governments which were according to the law, he brought up new customs against the law.
