1 Maccabees 10:55 In-Context

53 I made war on Demetrius, defeated him and his army, and I have taken over his kingdom.

54 Now I am ready to make an alliance. Give me your daughter in marriage, and I will give both of you such gifts as you deserve."

55 King Ptolemy replied, "It was a great day when you returned to your country and took the throne of your ancestors.

56 I agree to your proposals, but first meet me at Ptolemais. We can get acquainted there, and I will give you my daughter in marriage."

57 So in the year 162 Ptolemy and his daughter Cleopatra left Egypt and arrived at Ptolemais.
