4But the King of kings mooued Antiochus minde against this wicked wretch, and Lysias enformed the king, that this man was the cause of all mischiefe, so that the king commanded to bring him vnto Berea, and to put him to death, as the maner is in that place. 5Now there was in that place a towre of fifty cubites high full of ashes, and it had a round instrumēt which on euery side hanged down into the ashes. 6And whosoeuer was condemned of sacriledge, or had committed any other grieuous crime, there did all men thrust him vnto death. 7Such a death it happened that wicked man to die, not hauing so much as buriall in the earth, & that most iustly. 8For inasmuch as he had committed many sinnes about the altar whose fire and ashes were holy, hee receiued his death in ashes.
