( Epiphanes ). ‘Ptolemy’ was the dynastic name of the Macedonian kings who ruled over Egypt b.c. 305 31; during the whole of this period Egypt was an independent country; it was not until the great victory of Augustus at Actium (b.c. 31) that Egypt again lost her independence and became a province, this time under Roman rule. Ptolemy v. reigned b.c. 205 182. He married Cleopatra, the daughter of Antiochus iii. the Great; this matrimonial alliance between the Ptolemys and the Seleucids is alluded to in Daniel 2:43 . During his reign Palestine and CÅ“le-Syria were lost to Egypt, and were incorporated into the kingdom of Syria under Antiochus iii.; this is probably what is alluded to in Daniel 11:13-18; see Jos.
