Lysimachus ( in Greek Λυσιμαχoς ; lived 3rd century BC ) was a son of king Ptolemy Philadelphus ( 283 – 246 BC ) by Arsinoe, the daughter of Lysimachus, king of Thrace.

He married Arsinoe, a concubine of Philip II, king of Macedon, who was said to have been pregnant at the time of their marriage, on which account it is told that the Macedonians generally looked upon Ptolemy as in reality the son of Philip ; but it is possible that this is a later myth fabricated to glorify the Ptolemaic dynasty.

The year is stated as the ninth year of Ptolemy V's reign ( equated with 197 / 196 BC ), and it is confirmed by naming four priests who officiated in that same year: Aëtus son of Aëtus was priest of the divine cults of Alexander the Great and the five Ptolemies down to Ptolemy V himself ; his three colleagues, named in turn in the inscription, led the worship of Berenice Euergetis ( wife of Ptolemy III ), Arsinoe Philadelpha ( wife and sister of Ptolemy II ) and Arsinoe Philopator, mother of Ptolemy V. However, a second date is also given in the Greek and hieroglyphic texts, corresponding to, the official anniversary of Ptolemy's coronation.

His mother was Arsinoe of Macedon, and, while his father is unknown, ancient sources variously describe him either as the son of Lagus, a Macedonian nobleman, or as an illegitimate son of Philip II of Macedon ( which, if true would have made Ptolemy the half-brother of Alexander ).

Arsinoe IV was the half-sister of Cleopatra VII and Ptolemy XIII, sharing a father ( Ptolemy XII Auletes ) but having a different mother.

* Arsinoe was only a half-sister to Cleopatra, having a different mother ;

His mother bore Ptolemy I three children: two daughters, Arsinoe II, Philotera and the future Pharaoh Ptolemy II Philadelphus.

Arsinoe I was named in honor of an unnamed grandmother, who may have been the mother of Lysimachus or the mother of Nicaea whose both names of these women are unknown.
