13 Because of this, some friends of King Eupator brought charges against Ptolemy. They told the king:When King Philometor of Egypt made Ptolemy the ruler of Cyprus Island, Ptolemy ran away from that place and sided with King Antiochus Epiphanes. Now everyone says Ptolemy is a traitor.Ptolemy felt that no one respected him as governor any more, so he committed suicide by swallowing some poison.
