Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I noho a Cleopatra me tana teina, a Ptolemy XIII, ki te torona hei rangatira tahi, engari na te riri i waenganui i a raua i arahi ki te pakanga ā-iwi. I rere poto a Cleopatra ki Hiria i Roma i te 48 BC engari i hoki mai i muri mai i taua tau me te ope ki te tu atu ki a Ptolemy XIII. Hei kawanatanga kaihoko a Roma, i whakamaherehia e te tangata whenua o Roma a Pompey te Nui a Ptolemaic Egypt hei waahi rerenga i muri i te hinganga o te 48 BC Battle of Pharsalus i Kariki ki tana hoa whawhai a Julius Caesar i te Pakanga a Caesar. Heoi anō, i whakamatea e Ptolemy XIII a Pompey i Pelousion, ā, i tukuna atu tana matenga i tapahia ki a Hihara, i te wā e noho ana a Hihara ki Arehanika ki te whai i a Pompey. I a ia e noho ana hei kaikaunihera o te Whenua o Roma, i ngana a Hihara ki te whakarite i te rongo i waenganui i a Ptolemy XIII me Cleopatra. Heoi, i whakaaro a Potheinos, te kaitohutohu matua a Ptolemy XIII, he pai ki a Kiriopatara nga kupu a Hihara. Na ko ana ope, i arahina e te tuatahi e Achillas, kātahi ko Ganymedes i raro i Arsinoe IV (te tuahine iti o Cleopatra),
I whakapaea a Hihara rāua ko Kiriopatara ki te whare rangatira. I whakaarahia e nga whakapakari te whakapae i te timatanga o te 47 BC a ka mate a Ptolemy XIII i muri tata mai i te Pakanga o te Nile. I te mutunga ka whakaraua a Arsinoe IV ki Epeha, a, ko Hihara, he kaihauturu i whiriwhiria, i kii ko Cleopatra me tana taina teina a Ptolemy XIV hei rangatira tahi o Ihipa. Heoi anō, i mau tonu te whanaungatanga tūmataiti a Hihara ki a Kiriopatara, i whanau ai tana tama, a Hihara (i muri ake ko Ptolemy XV), i mua i tana wehenga atu i Arehanaria ki Roma.
