This short note suggests that the Greek translator of 1 Macc 7,16 read the Hebrew original as the third person singular perfect verb with the third person pronominal suffix (כתבו) instead of the passive participle כתוב. The resulting Greek text read as if Alcimus the high-priest had written Ps 78, instead of Ps 78 being quoted.
