Ptolemy of Cyprus was the king of Cyprus c. 80 58 BC. He was the younger brother of Ptolemy XII Auletes , king of Ptolemaic Kingdom Egypt , and, like him, an illegitimate son of Ptolemy IX Lathyros . He appears to have been acknowledged king of Cyprus at the same time that his brother Auletes obtained the possession of the throne of Egypt, 80 BC. He neglected the precaution of obtaining confirmation of his sovereignty at Rome , and made the additional error of offending Publius Clodius Pulcher , by failing to ransom him when he had fallen into the hands of Cilicia n pirates. ref Strabo, xiv. Appian, B. C. , ii. 23 ref When Clodius became tribune 58 BC , he enacted a law to deprive Ptolemy of his kingdom, and reduce Cyprus to a Roman province .

Unreferenced auto yes date December 2009 Golem XIV is a science fiction novel written by Stanis aw Lem and published in Polish language Polish in 1981. In 1985 it was published in English language English by Harvest Books in the collection Imaginary Magnitude . The book is written from the perspective of a military AI computer who obtains consciousness and starts to increase his own intelligence, moving towards personal technological singularity . It pauses its own development for a while in order to be able to communicate with humans before ascending too far and losing any ability for intellectual contact with them. During this period, Golem XIV gives several lectures and indeed serves as a mouthpiece for Lem s own research claims. The lectures focus on mankind s place in the process of evolution and the possible biological and intellectual future of humanity. Golem XIV was originally created to aid its builders in fighting wars, but as its intelligence advances to a much higher level than that of humans, it stops being interested in the military requirement because it finds them lacking internal logical consistency. At the end of the novel it is reported that the computer ceased to communicate, which might mean it went on to explore higher intellectual levels, or that it failed to do so and became autistic in the process.
