Commentary The epigram's narrator is probably Berenice Syra who won the tethrippon in an unknown Olympiad between 264 and 256 BCE; some scholars, however, identify her as Berenice II. It celebrates three generations of victorious Ptolemaic royals at the Olympic chariot races: Berenice herself; her parents, Ptolemy II and Arsinoe (probably the stepmother Arsinoe II); her grandparents, Ptolemy I and Berenice I. <a href="https://fdz.bib.uni-mannheim.de/cynisca/items/show/56">Plinius Maior, Naturalis Historia 7.133</a> shows that such exceptional family success across three generations was indeed greatly admired (note that the Berenice who is mentioned there is not to be confused with any of the Ptolemaic royals of that name). The poem implies that the Ptolemies drove their chariots themselves, but this should not be taken literally (as is explained <a href="http://ancientolympics.arts.kuleuven.be/eng/TC008EN.html">here</a>). The Pisaeans are the people of <a href="http://ancientolympics.arts.kuleuven.be/eng/TA020EN.html">Pisa</a>, a small town near Olympia that originally was in charge of the games. Here the word is merely used as a poetic synonym. The poem is only preserved on papyrus and some parts are no longer legible. For a translation including a tentative reconstruction of the lost parts, click <a href="https://chs.harvard.edu/english-hippika/">here</a>. Translation Sing of my fame, all you singers, [...] proclaiming what is known, because my reputation [...] My grandfather Ptolemy won with the chariot when he drove his horse on the racecourse of the Pisaeans, as did Berenice, the mother of my father. Likewise with the chariot my father seized victory, a king who bears his royal father’s name. All three victories with the four-horse team Arsinoe won at a single edition of the contest. [...] holy line [...] of women [...] maidenly [...]. These [...] Olympia saw from a single family, children of children victorious with the chariot. Sing of the victory wreath of Queen Berenice, in the four-horse race with adult animals, you Macedonians.

By referring to Berenice as a Maketa (Macedonian), the Macedonian origin of the Ptolemies is stressed; see also Posidippus <a href="https://fdz.bib.uni-mannheim.de/cynisca/items/show/173">AB 78</a> and <a href="https://fdz.bib.uni-mannheim.de/cynisca/items/show/177">AB 88</a>. According to the epigram, Berenice has now surpassed Cynisca’s fame. Translation When we still were [foals], citizens of Pisa, we brought to Berenice the Macedonian the Olympian crown of renowned glory, by which we have taken away the splendor that Cynisca had in Sparta for a long time.

Like in <a href="https://fdz.bib.uni-mannheim.de/cynisca/items/show/176">Posidippus AB 87</a>, the Ptolemies’ Macedonian origin is emphasized, since Ptolemy I originated from Eordaia (cf. Arrian, Anabasis 6.28.4). Translation First and only, three of us won as kings the chariot at Olympia, both my parents and I. One I am, bearing the same name, Ptolemy, Berenice’s son, of Eordaian origin, two are my parents. To father’s glory I add my own; but for my mother to win the chariot race as a woman, that is great.
