219 BCE

Classical writers depict Ptolemy IV as a drunken, debauched reveler, completely under the influence of his disreputable associates, among whom Sosibius is the most prominent.

Cleomenes, imprisoned by Ptolemy, escapes in 219 and, after failing to raise a revolt in Alexandria, takes his own life.
