Two or three years of war left Egypt the dominant naval power of the eastern Mediterranean; the Ptolemaic sphere of power extended over the Cyclades to Samothrace, and the harbours and coast towns of Cilicia Trachea ("Rough Cilicia"), Pamphylia, Lycia and Caria were largely in Ptolemy's hands.
Ptolemy's first wife, Arsinoë I, daughter of Lysimachus, was the mother of his legitimate children.
After her repudiation he married, probably for political reasons, his full-sister Arsinoë II, the widow of Lysimachus, by an Egyptian custom abhorrent to Greek morality.

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.
