Polybius' description of the death of Ptolemy IV is lost, but he introduces his account of the succession of Ptolemy V (15.25.3) by the phrase "after four or five days", suggesting perhaps only a brief period of concealment.
The general opinion of modern scholarship is to suppose that Arsinoe was killed by Sosibius and Agathocles after the death of Ptolemy IV, and that the delay in announcing Ptolemy's death was used to effect this murder.
If Arsinoe III was murdered after Ptolemy IV's death, then it must have been very soon after, and its not obvious why her body would be clandestinely disposed of.

 Ptolemy IV Philopator, The Fourth King of Egypt's Greek Period
From the time of Ptolemy IV onward, the dynasty's declining prestige abroad was matched by faltering administration at home, though it is hard to decide whether constant dynastic intrigues, minority regencies, military reversals and economic crises were primarily responsible for the breakdown of the system, or whether simmering anarchy and anti-governmental feelings contributed more.
Ptolemy IV took the throne in about 222 BC, using the Egyptian name Iwaennetjerwy-menkhwy Setepptah Userkare Sekhemankhamun, a name that means "Heir of the [two] Beneficent Gods, Chosen of Ptah, Powerful is the Soul of Re, Living Image of Amun".

Berenice IV is not even considered as a candidate, presumably because such an interpretation would require that her husband Archelaus was given priority as king, a doubtful but not impossible proposal, though there is as yet no clear evidence that Archelaus was ever king.
But she is unlikely to have left Arsinoe IV alone with her army, so it would appear that Arsinoe IV had returned earlier, possibly in order to become Ptolemy's queen, or that Strabo was in error.
Evidently she was a very prominent aristocrat of the period, and Arsinoe IV is the only one known who was resident in Ephesus.

ARSINOE IV Arsinoe went into exile with her older sister, Cleopatra VII.
There's lots of conflicting information about Arsinoe, but what seems consistent is this: she went into exile with Cleo, at some point returned to Egypt, somehow came to lead the Macedonian Mob (or in some records, the Pharaoh's army), was captured and displayed by Caesar, and was eventually killed by Marc Antony at Cleo's request.
We think of her as equally admiring and jealous of Cleo, which perhaps made her more susceptible to coercion from Pothinus (the eunuch and Ptol XIII's chief advisor) who elevated her to the front of The Macedonian Mob, a subversive group of rebellious citizens.
