The apocrypha is fallible, anon. 2 Esdras 14 talks about seventy books of hidden knowledge, and occultists eat that stuff up. But it's not inspired. Also in Wisdom 11:17 the writer apparently deny creatio ex nihilo. And in Judith or one of them, they literally say at the very beginning that Nebuchadnezzar (the Babylonian king) reigned from Nineveh.

I do find it interesting the fact that the original author of Maccabees admitted that there is no prophet in Israel at the time of his writing. Thus openly admitting that he himself is not one. It's strange that later some people tried to say he was one just to be contrarian though.

Yeah, the Latin definition. It belongs in that list with the others.
