Editing Antiochus X Eusebes (section)

== Children ==
The Roman statesman [[Cicero]] wrote about two sons of Antiochus{{nbsp}}X and Cleopatra Selene who visited [[Ancient Rome|Rome]] during his time (between 75 and 73 BC); one of them was named Antiochus.{{sfn|Dumitru|2016|p= 268}} The king might have also fathered a daughter with his wife;{{sfn|Dumitru|2016|pp= 269, 270}} according to the first century historian [[Plutarch]], the [[Kingdom of Armenia (antiquity)|Armenian]] king [[Tigranes the Great|Tigranes II]], who killed Cleopatra Selene in 69 BC, "put to death the successors of [[Seleucus I Nicator|Seleucus]], and [carried] off their wives and daughters into captivity".{{sfn|Dumitru|2016|pp= 269, 270}} This statement makes it possible to assume that Antiochus{{nbsp}}X had at least one daughter with his wife.{{sfn|Dumitru|2016|p= 270}}
* [[Antiochus XIII Asiaticus|Antiochus XIII]]: mentioned by Cicero.{{sfn|Dumitru|2016|p= 269}} His epithets raised questions about how many sons with that name Antiochus{{nbsp}}X fathered;{{sfn|Dumitru|2016|p= 267}} when Antiochus XIII issued coins as a sole ruler, he used the epithet ''Philadelphos'' ("brother-loving"), but on [[jugate]] coins that show Cleopatra Selene as regent along with a ruling son named Antiochus, the epithet ''Philometor'' ("mother-loving") is used.{{sfn|Dumitru|2016|p= 267}} The historian {{ill|Kay Ehling|de}}, agreeing with the view of Bouché-Leclercq, argued that two sons, both named Antiochus, resulted from the marriage of Antiochus{{nbsp}}X and Cleopatra Selene.{{sfn|Dumitru|2016|p= 267}} Cicero, on the other hand, left one of the brothers unnamed, and clearly stated that Antiochus was the name of only one prince.{{sfn|Dumitru|2016|p= 268}} Ehling's theory is possible but only if "Antiochus Philometor" was the prince named by Cicero, and the brother, who had a different name, assumed the dynastic name Antiochus with the epithet Philadelphos when he became king following the death of Antiochus Philometor.{{sfn|Dumitru|2016|p= 269}} In the view of the historian Adrian Dumitru, such a scenario is complicated; more likely, Antiochus XIII bore two epithets, ''Philadelphos'' and ''Philometor''.{{sfn|Dumitru|2016|p= 269}} Several numismatists, such as [[Oliver D. Hoover]], Catharine Lorber and Arthur Houghton, agree that both epithets denoted Antiochus XIII.{{sfn|Houghton|Lorber|Hoover|2008|p=618}}
* [[Seleucus VII Philometer|Seleucus VII]]: the numismatist [[Brian Kritt]] deciphered and published a newly discovered jugate coin bearing the portrait of Cleopatra Selene and a co-ruler in 2002.{{sfn|Kritt|2002|p= 25}}{{sfn|Hoover|2005|p=95}} Kritt's reading gave the name of King Seleucus Philometor and, considering the epithet which means mother loving, equated him with the unnamed son mentioned by Cicero.{{sfn|Kritt|2002|p= 27}} Kritt gave the newly discovered king the regnal name Seleucus VII.{{sfn|Kritt|2002|p= 28}} Some scholars, such as [[Lloyd Llewellyn Jones]] and {{ill|Michael Roy Burgess|de|Robert Reginald|lt=Michael Roy Burgess}}, accepted the reading,{{sfn|Llewellyn Jones|2013|p= 1573}}{{sfn|Burgess|2004|p= 20}} but Hoover rejected Kritt's reading as the coin is badly damaged and some of the letters cannot be read. Hoover proposed a different reading where the king's name is Antiochus, to be identified with Antiochus XIII.{{sfn|Hoover|2005|p=95}}
* Seleucus Kybiosaktes: the unnamed son mentioned by Cicero does not appear in other ancient literature.{{sfn|Kritt|2002|p=26}} Seleucus Kybiosaktes, a man who appeared {{c.|58 BC}} in Egypt as a husband of its queen [[Berenice IV of Egypt|Berenice IV]], is identified by modern scholarship with the unnamed prince.{{#tag:ref|According to the second century historian [[Cassius Dio]], a "Seleucus", who in 58{{nbsp}}BC became a husband of Berenice IV, was killed by his wife.{{sfn|Kritt|2002|p=26}} The first century BC historian [[Strabo]] talks about a man, bearing the epithet "Kybiosaktes" ("salt-fish dealer"), who claimed to be a Seleucid prince, and married Berenice IV who eventually killed him.{{sfn|Kritt|2002|p=26}} According to Eusebius, who used the work of the third century historian [[Porphyry (philosopher)|Porphyry]] as a source, Antiochus{{nbsp}}X himself attempted to marry Berenice IV but died of a sudden illness.{{sfn|Dumitru|2016|p=265}} Combining the accounts of Cassius Dio and Strabo, the historian [[Alfred Bellinger]] named the Seleucid husband of Berenice IV "Seleucus Kybiosaktes".{{sfn|Kritt|2002|p=26}} The similarities of the accounts of Dio Cassius and Strabo indicate that the same character was the subject of those classical accounts; modern scholars identify Antiochus{{nbsp}}X and Cleopatra Selene's unnamed son with Seleucus Kybiosaktes.{{sfn|Kritt|2002|p=27}}|group=note}}{{sfn|Kritt|2002|pp= 26, 27}} According to the first century BC historian [[Strabo]], Kybiosaktes pretended to be of Seleucid descent.{{sfn|Kritt|2002|p=26}} Kritt considered it plausible to identify Seleucus VII with Seleucus Kybiosaktes.{{sfn|Kritt|2002|p= 28}}
