…Ptolemy with Egypt and Cyprus.
Ptolemy suppresses the island's kingdoms and in 310 forces the last king of Salamis, Nicocreon, to commit suicide, together with all his family. (For the next two and a half centuries, Cyprus will remain a Ptolemaic possession, ruled by a strategos, or governor-general.)
