		Since Egypt's ancient history stretches back' for well over four thousand years, some of the Egyptians were themselves students of their own past, although they were prompted by the desire to discover religious wisdom rather than to reconstruct and understand earlier events.
		He theorized that the invasion into Egypt of the Hyksos (he erroneously interpreted their hieroglyphic name to mean Shepherd Kings or Captive Shepherds, whereas it has since been shown that it should be translated as 'chieftains of foreign lands') was actually the descent into Egypt and sojourn there of the Hebrews in the biblical account.
		Coptic played an important role in early Christianity in Egypt: it was the medium for the translation of biblical texts and was still used as the language of the Christian inhabitants of Egypt long after the Arab invasion in the 7th century AD, when Arabic became the official language of the country.

	Berenice fiancee of attalus III
		For example, one may note Berenice of Chios, a wife of Mithridates VI of Pontus, and his daughter Cleopatra, both named by Plutarch, Lucullus 18.2 and Lucullus 22.5, respectively, who were certainly not Ptolemaic princesses.
		While the actual evidence for regarding Berenice to be a Ptolemaic princess is almost non-existent, the conjecture itself is not unreasonable, since her parentage is only one (and in fact the least) of several circumstantial details that seem to fall into place quite easily if we suppose that she was.
		Cleopatra II, engaged to Attalus III in the runup to the Syrian wars of the early 140s, we are looking for a place amongst their children that would allow her to be old enough to be engaged to Attalus III in the late 150s but not old enough to have married him immediately.

		Rather, on this reconstruction the inscription should be dated to Berenice III's reign as queen, at which time she was almost certainly recognised in Cyprus; the choice of title represents her view of her parents.
