1 Maccabees 10:56

56 Now I will do for you as you wrote, but meet me at Ptolemais so that we may see each other, and I will become your father-in-law, as you have said.

54 Therefore, let us establish friendship with each other. Give me your daughter to be my wife, and I will become your son-in-law. I will give gifts to you and to her in keeping with your position.

55 Ptolemy the king replied, Happy was the day on which you returned to the land of your ancestors and took your seat on the throne of their kingdom.

56 Now I will do for you as you wrote, but meet me at Ptolemais so that we may see each other, and I will become your father-in-law, as you have said.

57 So Ptolemy set out from Egypt—he and his daughter Cleopatra—and came to Ptolemais in the year 162.

58 King Alexander met Ptolemy, who gave him his daughter Cleopatra in marriage. He celebrated her wedding at Ptolemais with much ceremony, as kings do.
