27Ad Judæos vero regis epistola talis erat: Rex Antiochus senatui Judæorum, et ceteris Judæis salutem. Letter: Antiochus IV Epiphanes to the Jews. (164 BCE) 2Mace.11.27-33
28Si valetis, sic estis ut volumus: sed et ipsi bene valemus.  
29Adiit nos Menelaus, dicens velle vos descendere ad vestros, qui sunt apud nos.  
30His igitur qui commeant usque ad diem trigesimum mensis Xanthici, damus dextras securitatis,  
31ut Judæi utantur cibis et legibus suis, sicut et prius: et nemo eorum ullo modo molestiam patiatur de his quæ per ignorantiam gesta sunt.  
32Misimus autem et Menelaum, qui vos alloquatur.  
33Valete. Anno centesimo quadragesimo octavo, Xanthici mensis quintadecima die.  

Notes: For the Bible in Latin, I have used the Vulgate text at the Clementine Vulgate Project website.
The only English translations from the Vulgate that are readily available are John Wycliffe's 14th century English Bible, and the the Douay Rheims/Challoner versions. I have used the Wycliffe Bible text from the Wesley Centre website, where you can view this Bible in a number of formats. I have used the Douay Rheims Text at the Unbound Bible website. You can view the Douay Rheims Bible in a more readable format at DRBO.ORG website.
The katapi New Study Bible reference section: displays links to parallel passages. Passage headings are generally as printed in the Bible Society's "Good News Bible", 1976. To view the Greek Text on this page, you will need a Unicode font capable of displaying extended Greek characters. To find out about Unicode fonts, go to Alan Wood's Unicode Resources.
