First sentence: (1) ON the death of Ptolemy Euergetes II., his widow Cleopatra Cocce would have chosen her younger son, Ptolemy Alexander, then a child, for her partner on the throne, most likely because it would have been longer in the course of years before he would have claimed his share of power; but she was forced, by a threatened rising of the Alexandrians, to make her elder son king.
