He was the son of Ptolemy VIII and Cleopatra III. He points out that Justin's story assumes that Cleopatra III was the only living queen at the time of Ptolemy VIII's death. Instead, in documents from this period, the royal couple were Cleopatra III and Ptolemy IX, who were integrated into the Ptolemaic dynastic cult as the Theoi Philometores Soteres (The Mother-loving Saviour Gods).[17] Berenice III Late 115 or early 114 BC April 80 BC Co-regent with Ptolemy X (101-88 BC), Queen of Egypt (81-80 BC) ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-3821.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-3821.txt
