Even here https://wiki.brown.edu/confluence/displa...to+334+BCE
I am not sure of the source of the confusion. I have been always been talking about Ptolemaic Egypt, Greek Egypt.
As to wikipedia and all encyclopedias they are designed to target high school students. We here a beyond that. For example, most anything related to bibleland is dominated by believers who deny Josephus and Herodotus when it conflicts with their religious tradition. They deny Josephus and Herodotus were even historians. Only what their fellow believers say about bibleland is acceptable.
Considering those points it is clear wikipedia is only suitable for high school level work as what Josephus and Herodotus actually wrote is beyond the high school level. High school level material is to empart the lowest common denominator of cultural and societal beliefs.
