The most (10[1])famous holder (10[1])of this position (10[1])fought a (10[1])civil (-5[1])war (10[1])against Arsinoe IV (10[1])and once (10[1])dissolved (10[3])a pearl (10[2]-5[1])in vinegar. (10[1]-5[1])Many (10[1])women (10[1])from the Lagid Dynasty infamously acceded (10[1])to this title by marrying their brothers.
