Magas of Cyrene question
#2
A footnote from: Ptolemy "The Son" Reconsidered: Are There Too Many Ptolemies?
Author(s): Jennifer Ann Tunny
Source: Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik, Bd. 131 (2000), pp. 83-92

Quote:Magas, the king of Cyrene, was the son of Philadelphus's mother, Berenice, by her first husband, Philip (Paus. 1.7.1). He had originally been sent there as governor in c.300 by Ptolemy I and stayed on to become king (Paus. 1.7.1 ; Chamoux 1956: 18-21).

Chamoux simply states that "Magas a du gouverner la Cyrenaique d 300 a 250 avant J.-C.", so from 300- 250 BC. when he died.

A Spartan, being asked a question, answered "No." And when the questioner said, "You lie," the Spartan said, "You see, then, that it is stupid of you to ask questions to which you already know the answer!"
