Definitions

en
Ptolemy I of Telmessus, or Ptolemy Epigonos, (299/298 BC–February 240 BC) was a Greek Prince from Asia Minor who was of Macedonian and Thessalian descent. He was the son of Lysimachus and Arsinoe II. After failing to ascend the throne of the Kingdom of Macedonia, he fled to Egypt, where he ruled as co-regent with Ptolemy II from no later than 267 B.C. until 259 B.C. He was sent to Miletus, where he revolted against Ptolemy II in 259/258, but reconcilated. He then ruled as client-king of the Ptolemaic Empire in Telmessus from 258 to 240 B.C.
