After receiving the royal mandate, he returned with nothing worthy of a high priest, but only with the rage of a cruel tyrant or a wild beast. (2 Maccabees 4, 25)
Menelaus left his brother Lysimachus as his substitute, and Sostratus left Crates, the commander of the Cypriots. (2 Maccabees 4, 29)
Meanwhile, the inhabitants of Tarsus and Mallus revolted because their cities were given as a gift to Antiochis, the king's concubine. (2 Maccabees 4, 30)
The king set out at once to reestablish order, leaving Andronicus, one of his ministers, as his deputy. (2 Maccabees 4, 31)
Menelaus thought of taking advantage of the opportunity, and stole some of the golden vessels from the Temple, which he then gave to Andronicus as gifts. He also managed to sell others in Tyre and in the neighboring cities. (2 Maccabees 4, 32)
For this reason, not only Jews but people of other nationalities as well became indignant and grieved over the unjust killing of that man. (2 Maccabees 4, 35)
He became angry with Andronicus and immediately removed him from office. Then he ordered that Andronicus be divested of his purple robe, tore his garments off him, and led him all around the city up to the place where Andronicus had murdered Onias, and right there the king ordered that he be put to death - God dealing out to him the punishment he deserved. (2 Maccabees 4, 38)
Lysimachus committed much sacrilegious plunder in Jerusalem with the connivance of Menelaus. When this became known, the populace rebelled against Lysimachus, who had already taken many golden vessels from the city. (2 Maccabees 4, 39)
When Lysimachus saw the people rising up in rebellion and becoming enraged, he armed about three thousand men and began a violent repression, designating as leader a certain Auranus, a man advanced in years but of very little intelligence. (2 Maccabees 4, 40)
So, as the people were attacked by the men of Lysimachus, they reacted by picking up stones and clubs, and even gathered handfuls of ashes lying at hand, and threw everything against the men of Lysimachus. (2 Maccabees 4, 41)
In this way, they wounded many of them, killed some, and put the rest to flight. As for the sacrilegious robber Lysimachus, they killed him near the treasury. (2 Maccabees 4, 42)
Seeing his ruin, Menelaus promised a great amount of money to Ptolemy, son of Dorymenes, in order to have the king in his favor. (2 Maccabees 4, 45)
