(II.ii.67) he calls Paulina, (witchcraft was a typical accusation leveled against disobedient women) and "Thou dotard," he says to the loyal nobleman, "thou art woman-tired, unroosted / By thy Dame Partlet here"(II.iii.74-76).

 Ptolemy III
Polybius notes that Antigonus III Doson, king of Macedon, attended the Nemean games shortly after defeating Cleomenes king of Sparta at the battle of Selassia, and Plutarch, Cleomenes 31, notes that Cleomenes immediately fled to Egypt, where he met with Ptolemy III, but that the king died shortly after he arrived.
This narrative dates the death of Ptolemy III shortly after the Nemean games, and since these were normally held in odd numbered years, this dates his death to 221.
By contrast, if Ptolemy III actually died in Dystros, Dystros in 221 marked the beginning of Macedonian year 1, and the final Macedonian year of Ptolemy IV was year 17.
