		Ptolemy in the next chapter indicates two means of determining this angle by observation, describes the instruments he employed for that purpose, and finds the same value which had already been found by Eratosthenes and used by Hipparchus.
		Ptolemy, however, was the first writer of Antiquity who showed some conception of the relations between the Tanais or Don (usually considered by the ancients as the boundary between Europe and Asia) and the Rha or Volga, which he correctly described as flowing into the Caspian.
		Ptolemy especially devoted himself to the mathematical branch of his subject, and the arrangement of his work, in which his rcsults are presented in a tabular form, instead of being at once embodied in a map, was undoubtedly designed to enable the student to construct his maps for himself.

		Ptolemy verified the fixity of their relative positions and confirmed the observations of Hipparchus with regard to their motion in longitude, or the precession of the equinoxes.
		Ptolemy now takes up this question for the planets; he says that " this perfection is of the essence of celestial things, which admit of neither disorder nor inequality," that this planetary theory is one of extreme difficulty, and that no one had yet completely succeeded in it.
		He was content, Ptolemy continues, to arrange the observations which had been made on them in a methodic order and to show thence that the phenomena did not agree with the hypotheses of mathematicians at that time.

		Ptolemy II Philadelphus was succeeded by Ptolemy III Evergates, "a branch of her roots".
		However as Ptolemy was so much addicted to luxurious living, it was of little concern to him to utilize his success to the full and he was not "strengthened" by his victory.
		He thus gave his daughter Cleopatra in marriage to Ptolemy Epiphanes with the intent of gaining an advantage over the king of Egypt, trusting she would be her father's ally rather than her husband's friend, but she refused to be a tool in her father's hands.

	Ptolemy II
		Here the point is whether the co-regency between Ptolemy I and II was in fact an abdication of Ptolemy I, or a joint rule of two kings.
		As to a reasoning concerning the Elephantine papyri, reporting a 41st year, that papyri would show that the joint rule was not an abdication, but that counting by the years of Ptolemy I till his death, or at any case one year after the beginninng of the co-regency with Ptolemy II, was a possibility.
		So the death of Ptolemy I was minimum 39 years after June -322 plus a certain time, which means that he died after June -283, this date functioning as a TPQ.
