Two or three years of war left Egypt the dominant naval power of the eastern Mediterranean; the Ptolemaic sphere of power extended over the Cyclades to Samothrace, and the harbours and coast towns of Cilicia Trachea ("Rough Cilicia"), Pamphylia, Lycia and Caria were largely in Ptolemy's hands.
Ptolemy's first wife, Arsinoë I, daughter of Lysimachus, was the mother of his legitimate children.

Whoever was the mother of Ptolemy XII, her very invisibility makes it unlikely that the Alexandrians had her in mind when they created the term, so it would have to be understood only with reference to him, as "son of a bitch" or (in the sense that he was illegitimate) the "cuckoo's child".

It is notable that Appian only mentions the capture of Ptolemy XI, even though there are good grounds to think that two sons of Ptolemy IX, most probably Ptolemy XII and Ptolemy of Cyprus, were also captured in the raid.
Ptolemy X was expelled from Alexandria in about May of 88, so it may well be that Mithridates was not yet aware of this at the time made the raid, and that his main purpose was capture the heir of the king of Egypt.

Egypt was an Augustan province so the governors were appointed directly by the Emperor rather than by the traditional Senatorial lottery.
Because of the importance of Egypt as the Empire's breadbasket, by law the governor of Egypt could not be of the Senatorial class (it was feared that consolidating too much power in a Senator invited revolt).
Though their hegemony was short-lived, the Hyksos left a lasting impact on Egypt; they introduced the composite bow, the khopesh sword, the horse and the chariot as well as many Canaanite gods and religious concepts.

 The Middle Kingdom of Egypt
The Dynasty ends with the reign of Queen Sebeknefrure (or Sokebneferure), one of three women who are known to have occupied the throne of Ancient Egypt (not counting Greek Queens like Cleopatra), though nothing otherwise is known about Sebeknefrure or her reign.
This device, although proposed by the Ptolemies and adopted by Julius Caesar at Rome, was not adopted in Egypt until imposed by the Emperor Augustus.
There is little doubt that such settlement underlies the story of the Israelites in Egypt, from Joseph to Moses, and there is no lack of Biblical interpretations for the Hyksos, though the evidence about anything beyond their mere existence is thin.
