Lysimachus

LISIMACO

Italian original Cite

LYSIMACHUS. - Fratello del sommo sacerdote Menelao (v.). Quando questi, con Sostrato, fu citato da Antioco Epifane (v.) a consegnargli le somme promesse « dovette cedere il sommo sacerdozio a suo fratello L. » (II Mach. 4, 29): doveva trattarsi di una cessione interinale, non di una vera successione, come suppone la Volgata.In agreement with his brother, he continued the plundering of the Temple, provoking the rebellion of the people. He tried to subdue it by arming 3,000 men under the command of Aurano (the Vulgate writes Tyrannus), but he got the worst of it and ended up killed by stones and clubs near the treasury chamber of the temple of Jerusalem (2 Macc. 4:32-42).
