Note 32 — LETTER XV.
Joanna B. Horner translation
Wilkinson (Mod. Eg. and Th., vol. ii., p. 275) considers this Cleopatra Tryphæna to be the celebrated Cleopatra, the daughter of Neos Dionysos; Champollion (Lettres d’Eg., p. 110) thinks she is the wife of Philometor; but the Shields connected with her name belong neither to Ptolemy XIV., the elder son of Neos Dionysos, nor to Ptolemy VI. Philometor, but to Ptolemy XIII. Neos Dionysos, or Auletes, who is always called on the monuments Philopator Philadelphus. Cleopatra Tryphæna was, consequently, the wife of Ptolemy Auletes.
