LXX 2 Macc 7:2

εἰς δὲ αὐτῶν γενόμενος προήγορος εἶπεν Μέλλεις ἐρωτᾶν καὶ μανθάνειν ἡμῶν; ἕτοιμοι γὰρ ἀποθνήσκειν ἐσμὲν ἢ πατρῴους νόμους παραβαίνειν.

But one of them, who was the eldest, said thus: What wouldst thou ask, or learn of us? we are ready to die, rather than to transgress the laws of God, received from our fathers.
