Iste antiochus magnus tributa septimi anni et ministrorum templi a philadelfo relaxata, subiugata sibi judea , philopatore deuicto, reuocauit; ob cuius seuitiam onias , pater symonis , in egyptum fugiens ad ptolomeum epiphanem , templum in regione eliopoleos, ysaie prophetiam complens, construxit .

This Antiochus the Great, having subjugated Judea and defeated Philopator, revoked the seven-year tribute of those who minister in the temple that Philadelphus had relaxed. Because of his cruelty, Onias, the father of Simon, fled to Egypt, to Ptolemy Epiphanes. He built the temple in the region of Heliopolis, fulfilling the Isaiah's prophesy.
