	Berenice III of Egypt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Berenice III (120–80 BC, Greek: Βερενίκη), sometimes called Cleopatra Berenice, ruled as queen of Egypt from 81 to 80 BC, and possibly from 101 to 88 BC jointly with her uncle/husband Ptolemy X Alexander.

	Berenice III

	Cleopatra V
		She is sometimes known as "Cleopatra VI", with "Cleopatra V" being assigned either to Cleopatra Selene or to (Cleopatra) Berenice III; not to be confused with "Cleopatra VI Tryphaena", said to be a daughter of Ptolemy XII.
		Berenice IV, was born in the early-mid 70s to have been an acceptable candidate for the throne in 58; this makes it unlikely that Cleopatra V was born much after the mid 90s.
		If we additionally accept that she was the daughter of Ptolemy X and Berenice III, then she cannot have been born before about 100, and was most likely born a little later, since Berenice III herself was probably not born before 115/4.

	Pomeroy, Hellenistic Queens
		Berenice, the daughter of Ptolemy II and Arsinoe I, had so lavish a dowry when she married Antiochus II that she was titled Phernophorus ("Dowry-bringer").

		Berenice is portrayed in Egyptian art as the living companion of her husband, dressed, as he is, in ceremonial attire.

	Magas son of Ptolemy III
		Additionally, since Berenice was a viable child, she was probably at least a year old at the time of her death.
		In view of the position and the maternity of the intermediate child, these children must belong to Ptolemy III and Berenice II, and so it is apparent that the last child was the "basilissa" Berenice, and that the royal sons were named between the two daughters.
		As to the rate of production of children, I fully agree that a date of 238 implies that Berenice II was reduced to being a baby factory for a while, but it is certainly possible, as is well-known, that children could be born at this rate.
