LXX 2 Macc 8:20 Ancient Greek
Septuagint (Swete) — 2 Maccabees
καὶ τὴν ἐν τῇ Βαβυλωνίᾳ τὴν πρὸς τοὺς Γαλάτας παράταξιν γενομένην, ὡς οἱ πάντες ἐπὶ τὴν χρείαν ἦλθον ὀκτακισχίλιοι σὺν Μακεδόσιν τετρακισχιλίοις, τῶν Μακεδόνων ἀπορουμένων, οἱ ἑξακισχιλιοι τὰς δώδεκα μυριάδας ἀπώλεσαν διὰ τὴν γινομένην αὐτοῖς ἀπʼ οὐρανοῦ βοήθειαν, καὶ ὠφέλειαν πολλὴν ἔλαβον.
And of the battle that they had fought against the Galatians, in Babylonia; how they, being in all but six thousand, when it came to the point, and the Macedonians, their companions, were at a stand, slew a hundred and twenty thousand, because of the help they had from heaven, and for this they received many favours.
