II Maccabees 12:35

But Dositheus, a horseman, one of Bacenor's band, a valiant man, took hold of Gorgias: and when he would have taken him alive, a certain horseman of the Thracians came upon him, and cut off his shoulder: and so Gorgias escaped to Maresa.

Maresa. Syriac, "Samaria," as the Vulgate has, 1 Machabees 5:66.
