| | Ptolemy IV Philopator, The Fourth King of Egypt's Greek Period |
 | | Though some recent attempts have been made to credit Ptolemy IV with an active foreign policy, history mostly regards him as one dominated to a great extent by his advisers and women. | | | The Egyptian troops trained under the king stimulated a strong nationalist movement which resulted, at first, in a long and successful guerilla campaign against the Alexandria court. | | | Then trouble seems to have begun when Antiochus III of Syria, no doubt having heard through his intelligence sources of Egypt's weaknesses under the dissolute king, began to move through Phoenicia taking Egyptian vassal cities during the fourth Syrian War. |

| | When describing how the urns of Ptolemy and Arsinoe were shown to the public, he notes that Arsinoe's contained only spices, and that during the funeral this fact became apparent and somehow alerted the public to the murder. | | | However, her total absence from the surviving accounts of the end of his reign, in which Oenanthe and Agathoclea figure prominently, makes this proposition seem very unlikely to me.

| | Ptolemy II In view of the family's apparently long-standing high connections, this strikes me as plausible, even though Agathocles, the brother of Agathoclea, is made (Polybius 15.31.4) to offer to forgo all his income and to plead for the opportunity to retire "into his original obscurity" when begging for his life. | | | See discussion under unknown child of Ptolemy IV. | | | If correct, then Ptolemy the son of Agesarchus, ambassador to Rome in 204/3 (Polybius 15.25.34) may, from his father's name, also have been a relative. |
