==Controversy== In 2002, the numismatist Brian Kritt announced the discovery and decipherment of a coin bearing the portrait of Cleopatra Selene and a co-ruler. Kritt read the name of the ruler as Seleucus Philometor and, based on the epithet, identified him with Cleopatra Selene's son, unnamed by Cicero. Kritt gave the newly discovered ruler the regnal name Seleucus VII, and considered it very likely that he is identical with Kybiosaktes.<ref>{{cite journal|url=https://community.vcoins.com/celator-vol-16-no-04/|last=Kritt|first=Brian|year=2002|title=Numismatic Evidence For A New Seleucid King: Seleucus (VII) Philometor|journal=The Celator|publisher=Kerry K.
