		Seleucus has no surviving chronicler of the first or the second rank, and consequently remains one of the most shadowy of the greater men of action in antiquity.

	Berenice IV
		Further, the possibility that the era actually represents the marriage with Seleucus Kybiosaktes can be ruled out since the two records are at least three months apart and the marriage is said (Strabo 17.1.11) to have lasted less than a week.
		Both describe the brevity of the marriage and how he met his end, so no one doubts that these names identify the same man. The epithet describes his "coarseness and vulgarity", which is apparently the reason Berenice had him killed.
		Whether or not Kybiosaktes was in truth Seleucus (VII?) the brother of Antiochus XIII, it is likely that that is who he claimed to be, and the circumstantial arguments suggest that the claim, even though it may later have been repudiated by Berenice, is more likely to be correct than not.
