That Numitor, deprived of his kingdom by his own brother, who was called Amulius and was king of the Albans, having unexpectedly recognized his own sons, Remus and Romulus, plotted against his own brother for his destruction. which also happened; for having summoned the herdsmen, they rushed upon the palace and forced their way inside the doors and killed those who resisted, and later Amulius himself. 25. That when Hostilius the consul arrived from Rome in Epirus, Theodotus and Philostratus, who were especially pro-Persian, undertook to hand over the consul to the king. But as they were summoning Perseus with speed, Hostilius, becoming suspicious, departed by night, and Perseus, having missed the opportunity for the consul's capture, failed. 26. That one of Ptolemy's friends, Dionysius called Petosarapis, attempted to appropriate affairs for himself; wherefore he also brought great dangers upon the kingdom. For, being the most powerful of those around the court and pre-eminent among all the Egyptians in the dangers of war, he looked down upon both kings on account of their age and inexperience. And pretending to have been urged by the elder to civil strife, he spread a report among the multitudes, alleging that the younger Ptolemy was being plotted against by his brother. And when the crowd ran together into the stadium, and 199 all were so provoked as to attempt to kill the elder, and to hand over the kingdom to the younger, and when the disturbance was reported to the court, the king, sending for his brother, pleaded with tears not to believe the one who was attempting to usurp the kingdom and who had looked down upon the age of them both; and if, still wavering in his mind, he was afraid, he bade him take both the diadem and the rule. And when the youth quickly freed his brother from suspicion, both, having put on royal robes, went out to the crowd, making it clear to all that they were of one mind. But Dionysius, having failed in his attempt, got himself out of the way; and at first, sending messages, he persuaded his associates among the soldiers to share his hopes of a revolt, then, withdrawing to Eleusis, he waited for those who chose to revolt, and the disorderly soldiers were gathered to the number of four thousand. But the king, having marched against them and conquered, and having killed some and pursued others, forced Dionysius to swim naked across the stream of the river and, having made his retreat to the Egyptians, to stir up the multitudes to revolt. And being energetic and having obtained great acceptance among the Egyptians, he quickly had many who wished to cooperate with him. 27. That Artaxias, the king of Armenia, having revolted, founded Antiochopolis, named after himself, and gathered large forces. But Antiochus, being powerful in those times as no other king was, marched against him and, having conquered him, forced him to do what was commanded. 28. That again another movement arose in the Thebaid, as an impulse toward revolt fell upon the multitudes. And king Ptolemy, having set out against them with a large force, easily won over the other parts of the Thebaid. And as the city called Panopolis was situated upon a certain ancient mound and seemed to be strongly fortified and difficult of access, the most active of the rebels ran together into it. But Ptolemy, both the desperation † among the Egyptians and the strength of the place, began a siege 200, and having endured every hardship, he took the city, and having punished the guilty parties, he returned to Alexandria. 29. That after the murder of Timotheus, the multitudes * and being displeased with the king in Alexandria because of the things dared against his brother, both tore away the royal bodyguard and summoned the elder Ptolemy from Cyprus. 30. That the governor of Commagene
