:Considering that [[Antiochus II Theos|Antiochus II's]] mother was [[Ptolemy II Philadelphus|Ptolemy II's]] sister also named Berenice, it is self evident that the intent was that the child [[Antiochus II Theos]] was meant to be a unifying influence to the royal houses.  [[Laodice I|Laodice's]] later actions prove that she was extremely politically ambitious and agressive to the point of assassination.  Ptolemy II effective sole term of surrender upon his nephew was the protection of his nephew and the annulment of the troublesome wife [[Laodice I]] and her children by the production of a new bloodline tying the royal houses even tighter.  It is this Author's belief that [[Ptolemy II Philadelphus|Ptolemy II's]] knew [[Laodice I|Laodice]] and pushed her husband to initiate the war making her the effective only term in the surrender; imposed territorial gains could have been much greater and are a mute point when conquest by marriage is the clear goal.  For a more modern parallel, we note that this is not disimilar to how [[Henrietta Maria]] influenced [[Charles I|Charles I of England]] triggering the [[English Civil War]].
