Английская Википедия:Cleopatra Selene of Syria
Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:About Шаблон:Featured article Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox royalty Cleopatra Selene (Шаблон:Lang-grc-gre; Шаблон:C. – 69 BC) was the Queen consort of Egypt (Cleopatra Selene or Cleopatra V Selene) from 115 to 102 BC, the Queen consort of Syria from 102–92 BC, and the monarch of Syria (Cleopatra II) from 82 to 69 BC. The daughter of Ptolemy VIII Physcon and Cleopatra III of Egypt, Cleopatra Selene was favoured by her mother and became a pawn in Cleopatra III's political manoeuvres. In 115 BC, Cleopatra III forced her son Ptolemy IX to divorce his sister-wife Cleopatra IV, and chose Cleopatra Selene as the new queen consort of Egypt. Tension between the king and his mother grew and ended with his expulsion from Egypt, leaving Cleopatra Selene behind; she probably then married the new king, her other brother Ptolemy X.
Following the marriage of the Syrian Seleucid princess Cleopatra I to Ptolemy V of Egypt, dynastic marriages between the two kingdoms became common. In 102 BC, Cleopatra III decided to establish an alliance with her nephew Antiochus VIII of Syria; Cleopatra Selene was sent as his bride. After his assassination in 96 BC, she married his brother and rival Antiochus IX. Cleopatra Selene lost her new husband in 95 BC and married a final time to Antiochus IX's son Antiochus X, who disappeared from the records and is presumed to have died in 92 BC, but may have remained in power until 89/88 BC (224 SE (Seleucid year)).[note 1] Cleopatra Selene then hid somewhere in the kingdom with her children. Eventually, Syria split between the sons of Antiochus VIII with Philip I ruling in the Syrian capital Antioch and Antiochus XII in the southern city Damascus.
Cleopatra Selene had many children by several husbands. Probably following the death of Antiochus XII in 230 SE (83/82 BC), she declared Antiochus XIII, her son by Antiochus X, king, and seems to have declared herself co-ruler; they claimed Antioch following Philip I's death. But the people of Antioch and the governor of Damascus, exhausted by the Seleucids' civil wars, invited foreign monarchs to rule them: Tigranes II of Armenia took Antioch, while Aretas III of Nabataea took Damascus. Cleopatra Selene controlled several coastal towns until Tigranes II besieged her in 69 BC in Ptolemais; the Armenian king captured the queen and later executed her.
Historical background, family and name
By the second century BC, the Seleucid Empire and the Ptolemaic Kingdom were weakened by dynastic feuds,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn constant wars against each other (known as the Syrian Wars), and Roman interference.Шаблон:Sfn To ease the tension, the two dynasties intermarried.Шаблон:Sfn Cleopatra I of Syria married Ptolemy V of Egypt in 193 BC,Шаблон:Sfn and her granddaughter Cleopatra Thea married three Syrian kings in succession starting in 150 BC.Шаблон:Sfn Those intermarriages helped Egypt destabilize Syria which was especially fragmented between different claimants to the throne;Шаблон:Sfn brothers fought between themselves and Egypt interfered by supporting one claimant against the other.Шаблон:Sfn
Cleopatra Selene was born between 135 and 130 BC to Ptolemy VIII and Cleopatra III.Шаблон:Sfn Cleopatra Selene had many siblings, including Ptolemy IX, Ptolemy X, and Cleopatra IV.Шаблон:Sfn Ancient writers, such as Cicero and Appian, mention that the queen's name is Selene,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn and Strabo clarified that she was surnamed "Cleopatra".Шаблон:Sfn On the other hand, modern scholars, such as Arthur Houghton and Catharine Lorber, believed that Selene was actually an epithet.Шаблон:Sfn The archaeologist Nicholas L. Wright suggested that she assumed the epithet "Selene" when she became queen of Egypt and that it is a divinising epithet, indicating that Cleopatra Selene presented herself as the manifestation of the moon goddess on earth.Шаблон:Sfn Coins struck in her name record her as Cleopatra Selene.Шаблон:Sfn Selene was the name of the Greek moon goddess and it is connected to the word selas (σέλας), meaning "light".Шаблон:Sfn "Cleopatra" was a Ptolemaic dynastic name;Шаблон:Sfn it means "famous in her father" or "renowned in her ancestry".Шаблон:Sfn As a queen of Syria, she was the second to rule with the name 'Cleopatra'. Hence, she is termed "Cleopatra II Selene" to differentiate her from her predecessor and aunt Cleopatra I Thea,[note 2]Шаблон:Sfn who was the mother of Cleopatra Selene's husbands Antiochus VIII and Antiochus IX.Шаблон:Sfn Classicist Grace Macurdy numbered Cleopatra Selene as "Cleopatra V" within the Ptolemaic dynasty and many historians have used this convention.Шаблон:Sfn
Queen of Egypt
Sibling marriage was known in ancient Egypt and, although it was not a general practice, it was acceptable for the Egyptians;Шаблон:Sfn the Ptolemies practised it, perhaps to consolidate the dynasty.Шаблон:Sfn In 116 BC, Ptolemy VIII died and his will left Cleopatra III to rule alongside a co-ruler of her choice from between her two sons; she wanted to choose Ptolemy X but the people of Alexandria (the capital of Egypt) opposed this, forcing her to accept Ptolemy IX's ascension to the throne.Шаблон:Sfn Shortly after his elevation,Шаблон:Sfn Cleopatra III forced Ptolemy IX to divorce Cleopatra IV,Шаблон:Sfn his sister whom he had married before their father's death;Шаблон:Sfn the 2nd-century historian Justin implied that Cleopatra III made this a condition of accepting him as co-ruler.Шаблон:Sfn Cleopatra Selene, favoured by her mother Cleopatra III, was chosen as the new queen consort in 115 BC.Шаблон:Sfn In 107 BC, the relationship between Ptolemy IX and his mother deteriorated;Шаблон:Sfn Cleopatra III forced him out of Egypt, and he left his wife and children behind.Шаблон:Sfn
The same year, 107 BC, Cleopatra Selene was probably married off to the new king, her younger brother, Ptolemy X.Шаблон:Sfn In 103 BC, Ptolemy IX was fighting in Judea.Шаблон:Sfn The queen mother feared an alliance against her between Ptolemy IX and his friend Antiochus IX of Syria, who was fighting a civil war with his brother Antiochus VIII; this led her to send troops to Syria.Шаблон:Sfn Cleopatra III and Ptolemy X conquered Ptolemais, and according to Justin, the king, shocked by his mother's cruelty, abandoned her and ran away; Cleopatra III then decided to marry Cleopatra Selene to Antiochus VIII,Шаблон:Sfn as a step to bring Antiochus VIII to her side in order to counter an alliance between Ptolemy IX and Antiochus IX.Шаблон:Sfn If it is accepted that Cleopatra Selene married Ptolemy X, then Cleopatra III divorced her from him after he deserted.[note 3]Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
Queen of Syria
Queen consort
The marriage of Cleopatra Selene and Antiochus VIII took place c. 102 BC;Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn historian Leo Kadman suggested that Cleopatra III gave her daughter to the Syrian king in Ptolemais before she retreated to Egypt, and that Cleopatra Selene kept that city as her main base until the end of her life.Шаблон:Sfn Details of Cleopatra Selene's life with Antiochus VIII are not clear; no known offspring resulted from the marriage,Шаблон:Sfn though six of Antiochus VIII's children from his previous marriage are known.Шаблон:Sfn In 96 BC, Herakleon of Beroia, a general of Antiochus VIII, assassinated his monarch and tried to usurp the throne, but failed and retreated to his home-town Beroia.[note 4]Шаблон:Sfn The capital of Syria, Antioch, was part of Antiochus VIII's realm at the time of his assassination; Cleopatra Selene probably resided there.[note 5]Шаблон:Sfn
The queen held out in the capital for a while before marrying Antiochus IX.Шаблон:Sfn The manner in which Antiochus IX took control of Antioch and his new wife in 95 BC is not clear; he could have taken the city by force or it could be that Cleopatra Selene herself opened the gates for him.Шаблон:Sfn In the view of historian Auguste Bouché-Leclercq, Cleopatra Selene had little reason to trust the five sons of her previous husband;Шаблон:Sfn the queen needed an ally who would help her control the capital while Antiochus IX needed a wife and Cleopatra Selene's influence over the city's garrison and her late husband's officials.Шаблон:Sfn It is unlikely that this marriage was received well by Antiochus VIII's sons. The first of them to act was Seleucus VI who was established in Cilicia. Within a year of his marriage to Cleopatra Selene, Antiochus IX marched against his nephew but was defeated and killed. Soon afterwards, Seleucus entered the capital. Cleopatra Selene probably fled before the new king's arrival. Alternatively, she might have been sent to Arados by Antiochus IX for protection before he marched against Seleucus.Шаблон:Sfn
In 218 SE (95/94 BC), Antiochus X, the son of Antiochus IX, proclaimed himself king in Arados,Шаблон:Sfn and married Cleopatra Selene.Шаблон:Sfn The Seleucid dynasty had a precedent of a son marrying his stepmother: Antiochus I had married his stepmother Stratonice, and this might have made it easier for Cleopatra Selene.Шаблон:Sfn Yet, the marriage was scandalous. Appian wrote an anecdote concerning the epithet of Antiochus X, "Eusebes" ("the pious"): the Syrians gave it to him to mock his show of loyalty to his father by bedding his widow.Шаблон:Sfn The rationale for the marriage might have been pragmatic: Antiochus X sought to be king, but had little resources and needed a queen. Cleopatra Selene was in her forties and could not simply marry a foreign king.[note 6]Шаблон:Sfn Antiochus X pushed Seleucus VI out of Antioch in 94 BC and ruled northern Syria and Cilicia,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn while Seleucus VI's brothers Philip I and Demetrius III ruled Beroea and Damascus respectively.Шаблон:Sfn The last evidence for the reign of Antiochus X is dated to 92 BC;Шаблон:Sfn he is generally assumed to have died at around this date.Шаблон:Sfn Ancient sources contain contradictory accounts and dates, and the numismatist Oliver D. Hoover suggested the date of 224 SE (89/88 BC) for Antiochus X's demise.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Antioch was taken by Demetrius III then Philip I.Шаблон:Sfn
Queen regnant and regent
Cleopatra Selene's location during the reign of Antiochus X's successors in Antioch is unknown. She evidently took shelter with her children somewhere in the kingdom,Шаблон:Sfn and possibly fled to Cilicia or Coele-Syria,Шаблон:Sfn probably the city of Ptolemais, which she held until her death.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Antiochus XII, another son of Antiochus VIII who was ruling in Damascus, died in 230 SE (83/82 BC).Шаблон:Sfn With the throne of Antiochus XII vacant, Cleopatra Selene declared her son Antiochus XIII king.[note 7]Шаблон:Sfn
Based on the evidence of the coins depicting her alongside her ruling son, it appears that Cleopatra Selene acted as the regent.Шаблон:Sfn Many of those coins have been found,[note 8]Шаблон:Sfn and they depict Antiochus XIII in the background and herself in the foreground, in the style of a queen regnant,Шаблон:Sfn where Cleopatra Selene's name is written before that of the king's.Шаблон:Sfn When she declared her son king, Cleopatra Selene controlled lands in Cilicia or Phoenicia or both.Шаблон:Sfn The archaeologist Alfred Bellinger suggested that she was in control of several coastal Syrian cities from a base in Cilicia; she certainly controlled Ptolemais and probably Seleucia Pieria.Шаблон:Sfn The 1st-century historian Josephus wrote of "Selene ... who ruled in Syria",Шаблон:Sfn indicating her continued influence despite her never controlling the capital Antioch.Шаблон:Sfn Her children probably remained in Cilicia or somewhere else in Asia Minor for protection, which would explain Antiochus XIII's nickname, "Asiaticus".Шаблон:Sfn
Reign in Damascus
According to Josephus, "those that held Damascus" invited Aretas III, King of the Nabataeans, to rule them because they feared Ptolemy (son of Mennaeus), king of the Iturea.Шаблон:Sfn Damascus' history between the death of Antiochus XII and 241 SE (72/71 BC), when the Armenian king Tigranes II took the city, is obscure.Шаблон:Sfn Based on her jugate coins which depict her alongside Antiochus XIII, Hoover suggested that Selene operated from Damascus;Шаблон:Sfn those coins used a broken-bar Alpha, cursive Epsilon and squared Sigma.Шаблон:Sfn This typography appeared in the Damascene coins of Demetrius III and Antiochus XII and is otherwise rare in the Hellenistic world.Шаблон:Sfn If her currency was minted in Damascus,[note 9] then it dates to the period between the death of Antiochus XII and Tigranes II's occupation of the city.Шаблон:Sfn Two scenarios are possible:
- Cleopatra Selene took Damascus after Antiochus XII's death and was replaced by Aretas III before 73 BC:Шаблон:Sfn Josephus does not name the people of Damascus as the party who invited Aretas III, rather, his words indicate that a garrison or a governor conducted the act.Шаблон:Sfn All known coins of Cleopatra Selene are made of bronze, and the absence of silver coinage indicates that the queen lacked the necessary resources to defend Damascus, which would explain the invitation of Aretas III.Шаблон:Sfn It is also possible that Cleopatra Selene moved her capital to Ptolemais, causing her troops in Damascus to lose faith in her rule, leading them to invite the Nabataean king.Шаблон:Sfn
- Aretas III's rule in Damascus did not last long before Cleopatra Selene took control:Шаблон:Sfn Wright suggested that Cleopatra Selene's takeover of Damascus took place after 80 BC.Шаблон:Sfn Several factors might have compelled the Nabataeans to withdraw, such as the Ituraean threats or the attacks of the Hasmonean Judaean king Alexander Jannaeus, whose incursions into Nabataean lands must have made their position in Damascus difficult.Шаблон:Sfn
Claiming the north
In the north, Philip I ruled until his death, after which Cleopatra Selene claimed the rights of her children with Antiochus X to the vacant throne.Шаблон:Sfn The queen's claims of authority were not generally accepted by the Syrians, and the people of Antioch invited Tigranes II to rule Syria, being frustrated by the Seleucids' constant civil wars.Шаблон:Sfn The year in which this event took place is debated; 83 BC is, without any proof, commonly accepted as Philip I's year of death by the majority of scholars who count on the account of Appian, who assigned a reign of fourteen years for Tigranes II, which ended in 69 BC.Шаблон:Sfn Oliver D. Hoover suggested that Tigranes II invaded Syria only in 74 BC, with Philip I ruling until 75 BC in Northern Syria, allowing Cleopatra Selene and Antiochus XIII to claim the country unopposed for a while. An argument in favour of Cleopatra Selene and her son being the sole claimants of Syria in 75 BC is a statement by Cicero: the Roman statesman wrote that Antiochus XIII and his brother were sent to Rome by their mother in 75 BC.Шаблон:Sfn They returned to Syria in 240 SE (73/72 BC);Шаблон:Sfn the brothers claimed the throne of Egypt based on their mother's birthright. To impress the Roman Senate, the queen endowed her children with sufficient assets, which included a jewelled candelabrum that was dedicated to the temple of Jupiter Capitolinus.Шаблон:Sfn The Senate refused to hear their petition for the Egyptian throne, but, according to Cicero, their de jure right to the Syrian throne which they had inherited from their ancestors was already acknowledged.Шаблон:Sfn
The statement of Cicero indicates that in 75 BC, Tigranes II was still not in control of Syria, for if he were, Antiochus XIII would have asked the Roman Senate for support to regain Syria, since Tigranes II was the son-in-law of Rome's enemy, Mithridates VI of Pontus. Likewise, Philip I could not have been alive since Antiochus XIII went to Rome without having to assert his right to Syria.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn In a paper presented at the 131st annual meeting of the American Historical Association, Nikolaus Overtoom, based on Hoover's chronology, suggested that Cleopatra Selene was in control of the south while Philip I ruled the north until 75 BC; his death meant that Cleopatra Selene's son was the strongest candidate to the throne, but Philip I's faction, being opposed to Cleopatra Selene, offered the crown to Tigranes II who invaded and conquered the country in 74 BC.Шаблон:Sfn
Downfall, assessment and legacy
The regency of Cleopatra Selene probably ended in 75 BC as the journey of Antiochus XIII to Rome indicates that he had already reached his majority or was close to it.Шаблон:Sfn Tigranes II, whose invasion probably took place during Antiochus XIII's absence,Шаблон:Sfn never controlled the entire country and took Damascus only in 72 BC.Шаблон:Sfn Cleopatra Selene resisted the Armenians in Ptolemais while Antiochus XIII probably took shelter in Cilicia.Шаблон:Sfn In 69 BC, Tigranes II besieged Ptolemais; the city fell according to Josephus, but Tigranes II had to move north fast as the Romans started attacking Armenia.Шаблон:Sfn According to Strabo, Tigranes II imprisoned the queen in Seleucia and later had her killed.Шаблон:Sfn Those accounts seem to contradict each other, but in the view of the seventeenth century historian William Whiston, they do not, since Josephus does not mention that Tigranes II captured the queen in Ptolemais.Шаблон:Sfn Historian John D. Grainger explained Tigranes II's action as a consequence of Cleopatra Selene's political importance; she was a winning card in the hands of her husbands, and Tigranes II sought to deny other ambitious men from acquiring influence through her.Шаблон:Sfn Others see Cleopatra Selene as a pawn in political schemes who later evolved into a schemer in her own right, one who decided her actions effectively based on her own benefit.Шаблон:Sfn
Cleopatra Selene's long career, as the wife of three successive Syrian monarchs, and the mother of one and a ruler in her own right, in addition to her divine status, turned her into a symbol of Seleucid continuity.Шаблон:Sfn The ancient Near East was ruled by successive dynasties whose monarchs claimed the title of Great King, i.e. imperial overlord. When the Romans ended the Seleucid dynasty in 64 BC, they attempted to simply replace the Syrian monarchs as an imperial authority, but the political reality of Rome as a republic meant that its legitimacy in the East was questioned.Шаблон:Sfn The Seleucid diadem was considered a symbol of legitimacy even after the fall of the Seleucid dynasty, and many eastern kings, such as the Parthian monarch Mithridates II, used Seleucid royal iconography to gain the local nobility's support in their domains. The Ptolemaic rulers of Egypt were the closest relatives of the Seleucids and their legitimate successors; Cleopatra VII of Egypt used the name of Cleopatra Selene for her daughter Cleopatra Selene of Mauretania, born 40 BC; this can be viewed in the context of Cleopatra VII's attempts to claim the Seleucid succession rights in the East.Шаблон:Sfn
Issue
By Ptolemy IX
- According to Justin, Cleopatra Selene and Ptolemy IX had two children;Шаблон:Sfn the historian John Whitehorne noted that the existence of those two children is doubted and they might have died at a young age.Шаблон:Sfn In 103 BC, Cleopatra III sent all her grandsons and treasures to the island of Kos for protection in preparation for her war with Ptolemy IX.Шаблон:Sfn In 88 BC, Mithridates VI captured all the Egyptian royals in Kos; the two children of Cleopatra Selene mentioned by Justin, if they actually existed and were sent to Kos by Cleopatra III, would have been among the captured.Шаблон:Sfn
- Ptolemy XII, the father of Cleopatra VII,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn and his brother Ptolemy of Cyprus.Шаблон:Sfn Ptolemy XII's legitimacy was historically questioned;[note 10] his father was certainly Ptolemy IX but his mother's identity is vague.Шаблон:Sfn Cicero wrote that Ptolemy XII was royal "neither in birth nor in spirit",Шаблон:Sfn but the classicist John Pentland Mahaffy noted that Cicero's words indicate that Ptolemy XII's mother was not a reigning queen at his birth, and so could be Cleopatra IV,Шаблон:Sfn whose marriage to Ptolemy IX can be considered morganatic (a marriage between people of unequal social rank),Шаблон:Sfn since it was not acceptable that a Ptolemaic prince marry his sister prior to his ascension to the throne.[note 11]Шаблон:Sfn
The historian Christopher J. Bennett considered Ptolemy XII and his brother identical with the two children mentioned by Justin,[note 12] but proposed that they were the children of Cleopatra IV, considered illegitimate because of their parents' "morganatic" marriage.Шаблон:Sfn Hence, Cleopatra Selene was not the biological mother, rather, she was the official mother, thus explaining her attempt to raise one of her sons by Antiochus X to the throne of Egypt in 75 BC by repudiating Ptolemy XII's legitimacy.[note 13]Шаблон:Sfn Whitehorne, citing Cleopatra Selene's denial of Ptolemy XII's illegitimacy, refused to identify Ptolemy XII and his brother as the two children mentioned in Justin's work.Шаблон:Sfn - Cleopatra Berenice (Berenice III), whose mother's identity is not certain, might have been a daughter of Cleopatra Selene, but Cleopatra IV is also a candidate and is favoured by modern scholarship.Шаблон:Sfn Bennett noted that Berenice III's legitimacy was never questioned by ancient historians, and the illegitimacy of Ptolemy IX and Cleopatra IV's marriage makes it more probable that Berenice III was the result of a legitimate marriage, that is between her father and Cleopatra Selene.Шаблон:Sfn
By Ptolemy X
Ptolemy X's son, Ptolemy XI, might have been the child of Cleopatra IV.Шаблон:Sfn Following Cleopatra IV's expulsion from Egypt in 115 BC, she went to Cyprus where Ptolemy X resided, but she departed quickly to Syria and married Antiochus IX; if Ptolemy XI was her son, then her abandonment of Cyprus is hard to explain, and her son would not have been considered legitimate, while the legitimacy of Ptolemy XI was unquestioned.Шаблон:Sfn Berenice III was mentioned as a mother of Ptolemy XI in a Demotic text, but the Egyptian word used to denote a "son" can also mean a step son, which is the meaning preferred by most scholars for the word in the text mentioning Berenice III as a mother of Ptolemy XI.Шаблон:Sfn Cleopatra Selene is the most suitable candidate; among several arguments in favor of Cleopatra Selene, Bennett noted that Berenice III was called by Cicero a sister of Ptolemy XI. If Ptolemy XI and Berenice III were both children of Cleopatra Selene, then the statement of Cicero can be taken literally.Шаблон:Sfn Cleopatra Selene's maternity of Ptolemy XI can not be confirmed,Шаблон:Sfn and which of Ptolemy X's wives bore Ptolemy XI remains unknown.Шаблон:Sfn
By Antiochus X
Identifying Antiochus X and Cleopatra Selene's children is problematic; Cicero wrote that the queen had two sons, one of them named Antiochus.Шаблон:Sfn More children, perhaps a daughter, might have resulted from the marriage, but it can not be confirmed;Шаблон:Sfn according to Plutarch, Tigranes II "put to death the successors of Seleucus, and [carried] off their wives and daughters into captivity".Шаблон:Sfn Thus, it is possible that Cleopatra Selene had a daughter captured by Tigranes II.Шаблон:Sfn
- Antiochus XIII: this son is the Antiochus of Cicero,Шаблон:Sfn who, as a sole monarch following his mother's death, appears on his coins as Antiochus Philadelphos ("brother-loving"), but on coins where Cleopatra Selene is depicted along with her ruling son, the king is named Antiochus Philometor ("mother-loving"). This has led scholars to propose various theories: Kay Ehling, reasserting the view of Bouché-Leclercq, suggested that Cleopatra Selene had two sons, both named Antiochus.Шаблон:Sfn But Cicero, who left one of the brothers unnamed, is clear that only one of them was named Antiochus;Шаблон:Sfn for Ehling's proposal to be valid, Antiochus Philometor should be the Antiochus mentioned by Cicero, then he died and his brother, who had a different name, assumed the dynastic name Antiochus with the epithet Philadelphos, but this scenario is complicated and remains a mere hypothesis.Шаблон:Sfn Thus, Antiochus XIII bore two epithets: Philadelphos and Philometor.Шаблон:Sfn
- Seleucus Kybiosaktes: the second son of Cleopatra Selene, who was unnamed by Cicero and does not appear in other ancient sources,Шаблон:Sfn is generally identified by modern scholarship with a character named Seleucus Kybiosaktes, who appeared Шаблон:C. in Egypt as a husband of Berenice IV of Egypt.Шаблон:Sfn Kybiosaktes was never associated with Cleopatra Selene in the ancient sources; solid evidence is lacking and the identification remains a theory.[note 14]Шаблон:Sfn
- Seleucus VII: in 2002, the numismatist Brian Kritt announced the discovery and decipherment of a coin bearing the portrait of Cleopatra Selene and a co-ruler;Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Kritt read the name of the ruler as Seleucus Philometor and, based on the epithet, identified him with Cleopatra Selene's son, unnamed by Cicero.Шаблон:Sfn Kritt gave the newly discovered ruler the regnal name Seleucus VII, and considered it very likely that he is identical with Kybiosaktes.Шаблон:Sfn The reading of "Seleucus VII" was accepted by some scholars such as Lloyd Llewellyn Jones and Michael Roy Burgess,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn but Hoover rejected Kritt's reading, noting that the coin was badly damaged and some letters were unreadable; Hoover read the king's name as Antiochus and identified him with Antiochus XIII.Шаблон:Sfn According to Wright, if the reading of Kritt is accepted, then it is possible that Cleopatra Selene became estranged from Antiochus XIII at some point before 75 BC and declared Seleucus VII as her co-ruler.[note 15]Шаблон:Sfn
