And the rest of the Jews who were in the provinces of the king gathered together and stood for their soul, and they had rest from their enemies. And they killed five and seventy thousand of those hating them, and on the plunder they did not stretch out their hand—
Latin
Sed et per omnes provincias quæ ditioni regis subjacebant, pro animabus suis steterunt Judæi, interfectis hostibus ac persecutoribus suis: in tantum ut septuaginta quinque millia occisorum implerentur, et nullus de substantiis eorum quidquam contingeret.

Notes
75,000 seems like a large number. The Old Greek translation mentions 15,000, and the Targum notes 10,107 men. The Hebrew word translated as thousands can also mean an extended family or lineage. So, it is possible that 75 extended families were killed.
