Histories

While Arcesilaus was living at +Al Marj [20.833,32.5] (inhabited place), Al Jabal al Akhdar, Libya, Africa Barce, accomplishing his own destruction, his mother Pheretime held her son's prerogative at Shahhat [21.866,32.833] (inhabited place), Al Jabal al Akhdar, Libya, AfricaCyrene, where she administered all his business and sat with others in council.

But when she learned of her son's death at +Al Marj [20.833,32.5] (inhabited place), Al Jabal al Akhdar, Libya, Africa Barce, she made her escape to Egypt [30,27] (nation), Africa Egypt, trusting to the good service which Arcesilaus had done Cambyses the son of Cyrus; for this was the Arcesilaus who gave Shahhat [21.866,32.833] (inhabited place), Al Jabal al Akhdar, Libya, AfricaCyrene to Cambyses and agreed to pay tribute.

So, on her arrival in Egypt [30,27] (nation), Africa Egypt, Pheretime supplicated Aryandes, asking that he avenge her, on the plea that her son had been killed for allying himself with the Medes.
