	Arsinoe II
		The creation of the cult of Arsinoe was shortly followeed by a major reform of the Egyptian clergy, which resulted in Nesisti-Pedubast, the High Priest of Memphis (an office that may even have been resurrected for the purpose), becoming the head of a cult that was funded by significant tax revenues allocated by the state.
		According to Hölbl, this would imply that Arsinoe II had been individually deified in an Egyptian cult before her death, which raises the question of why it was necessary, in the Mendes stele, to propagate her cult through all the temples of Egypt.
		Arsinoe had probably won an Olympic victory at the Olympics of 272, a victory that surely would have affirmed her newly-proclaimed divinity.

		As Teixidor notes, this must refer to Ptolemy II before his settlement with Ptolemy Ceraunus, who challenged his legitimacy, and hence the wife referred to must be Arsinoe I. The key phrase has also caused difficulties.
		Honeyman translated it as "the legitimate scion and his wives", and argued this as an additional proof that the inscription dated to Ptolemy II, since later kings were monogamous; also, therefore, as proof that Arsinoe II married Ptolemy II in or before 278/7.
		Since Arsinoe I was later disgraced as a traitor, the fact that Yatonba'al felt able to refer to her in year 11 strongly suggests that news of her disgrace had not yet reached him.

		The author intends to prove the origins for this development in the propaganda of Ptolemy II, which had the aim of glorifying the king's sister Arsinoe II and also to introduce a more civilian style of kingship.

		In traditional Egyptian manner, the queen stands in a striding pose against a back pillar, at the same time as her representation incorporates Hellenistic elements like the hairstyle and cornucopia, a Greek symbol for divinity.
		Since the inscription on the back of this figure refers to Arsinoe II as a goddess, it was probably made after her death in 270 B.C. when her cult was established by her brother and husband Ptolemy II, the forerunner of a phenomenon that is distinctive to the Ptolemaic dynasty.
		Indeed, stylistic considerations suggest a considerably later date for this statuette, in the second half of the second century B.C., reflecting the continuing importance of the cults of Arsinoe II and other Ptolemaic queens.
