===The Egyptian Revolt (204–196 BC)===
{{main|Hugronaphor|Ankhmakis}}
A revolt had broken out in [[Upper Egypt]] under the native pharaoh Hugronaphor (Horwennefer) in the last years of Ptolemy IV's reign and [[Thebes, Egypt|Thebes]] had been lost in November 205 BC. The conflict continued throughout the infighting of Ptolemy V's early reign and during the Fifth Syrian War. Hugronaphor was succeeded by or changed his name to [[Ankhmakis]] (Ankhwennefer) in late 199 BC.<ref name=H1557>{{harvnb|Hölbl|2001|pp=155–157}}</ref><ref name=CBHA>{{cite web |last1=Bennett |first1=Chris |title=Horwennefer / Ankhwennefer|url=http://instonebrewer.com/TyndaleSites/Egypt/ptolemies/horwennefer.htm|website=Egyptian Royal Genealogy |access-date=29 October 2019}}</ref>

Shortly after this, Ptolemy V launched a massive southern campaign, besieging [[Abydos, Egypt|Abydos]] in August 199 BC and regaining Thebes from late 199 BC until early 198 BC. The next year, however, a second group of rebels in the Nile Delta, who were linked to Ankhmakis in some way that is not entirely clear, captured the city of [[Lycopolis]] near [[Busiris (Lower Egypt)|Busiris]] and invested themselves there. After a siege, the Ptolemaic forces regained control of the city. The rebel leaders were taken to Memphis and publicly executed on 26 March 196 BC, during the feast celebrating Ptolemy V's coronation as pharaoh.<ref>Polybius 22.17.1; [[Rosetta Stone decree]] 11</ref><ref name=H1557/>
