5 Maccabees
The fifth book of the Maccabees is an ancient Jewish apocryphal pseudepigraphical work, almost certainly originally written in Hebrew, though no trace of a Hebrew text is known. It was referanced in 2 Maccabees, when the author mentions that his work is a summary of the larger history in five books of Jason of Cyrene, and is closely related to that work, even being known in Arabic as II Maccabees.
