It is the duty of the original historian to occupy the ground and to discuss matters from every side and to take trouble with details, (2 Maccabees 2, 30)
but the one who recasts the narrative should be allowed to strive for brevity of expression and to forego exhaustive treatment. (2 Maccabees 2, 31)

He reported to him that the treasury in Jerusalem was full of untold sums of money, so that the amount of the funds could not be reckoned, and that they did not belong to the account of the sacrifices, but that it was possible for them to fall under the control of the king. (2 Maccabees 3, 6)
When Apollonius met the king, he told him of the money about which he had been informed. The king chose Heliodorus, who was in charge of his affairs, and sent him with commands to effect the removal of the aforesaid money. (2 Maccabees 3, 7)

And he said that it was utterly impossible that wrong should be done to those people who had trusted in the holiness of the place and in the sanctity and inviolability of the temple which is honored throughout the whole world. (2 Maccabees 3, 12)
But Heliodorus, because of the king's commands which he had, said that this money must in any case be confiscated for the king's treasury. (2 Maccabees 3, 13)
So he set a day and went in to direct the inspection of these funds. There was no little distress throughout the whole city. (2 Maccabees 3, 14)
