| | Ptolemy VI Philometor in Egypt |
 | | In fat, Ptolemy VI, shrewd and patient, then encouraged him to marry his daughter, Cleopatra Thea, who had briefly been betrothed to his younger brother. |
 | | However, perhaps because he was afraid of Rome's reaction, Ptolemy VI not only allowed his brother to live, but also offered his own daughter, Cleopatra Thea, to his brother in marriage. |
 | | The widowed Cleopatra was left in Alexandria with the young heir, Ptolemy VII Neos Philopator, who, for a very short time, was nominally Egypt's king under his mothers doubtful protection. |
