LXX 2 Macc 2:32 Ancient Greek
Septuagint (Swete) — 2 Maccabees
Ἐντεῦθεν οὖν 'ρξώμεθα τῆς διηγήσεως, τοῖς προειρημένοις τοσοῦτον ἐπιζεύξαντες· εὔηθες γὰρ τὸ μὲν πρὸ τῆς ἱστορίας πλεονάζειν, τὴν δὲ ἱστορίαν ἐπιτέμνειν.
But to pursue brevity of speech, and to avoid nice declarations of things, is to be granted to him that maketh an abridgment.
English: Douay-Rheims (translated from the Vulgate; Greek/Latin numbering)
