I'm going to give the article a rewrite. It's rather confusing, doesn't have any sources cited & some of its information directly contradicts some sources I have. For instance, the portions of the Egyptian empire she's cited as ruling weren't even Egyptian possessions anymore; certainly by the time Pompey concluded his campaigns in the East it had all been annexed by Rome. (Of course Mark Antony subsequently attempted to cede it back to Cleopatra after Arsinoë's death.) And Macedonia was never an Egyptian province & by Arsinoe's time had been a Roman province for over a century. Binabik80 16:18, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
