<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bing, post: 26666357, member: 44132&quot;]I made the changes in my catalog.&nbsp; Thank you.&nbsp; Also here is the info I have on Ptolemy II (I&#039;m not sure where I got the infor, so no attribution):</p><p><br /></p><p>Ptolemy II Philadelphus (Greek: Πτολεμαῖος Φιλάδελφος, Ptolemaĩos Philádelphos&quot; 309 BC-246 BC), was the king of Ptolemaic Egypt from 283 BC to 246 BC. He was the son of the founder of the Ptolemaic kingdom Ptolemy I Soter and Berenice, and was educated by Philitas of Cos. He had two half-brothers, Ptolemy Keraunos and Meleager, both of whom became kings of Macedonia (in 281 BC and 279 BC respectively). Both died in the Gallic invasion of 280-279 BC.&nbsp; Son of Ptolemy I, he was made co-ruler by his father two years before the latter&#039;s death, thus ensuring a smooth succession. His long reign was a period of growing prosperity for his kingdom, and the capital city of Alexandria was embellished with many splendid new buildings - the Pharos, the Museum and the Library being foremost. He was twice married: in circa 288 B.C. to Arsinoe I, daughter of Lysimachos of Thrace; and about twelve years later to his own sister, Arsinoe II.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
