Ptolemy II deified

Ptolemy II deifies his parents, then himself and his sister-wife.

Geometry, Pride: A reading: the keeper of the accounts stands at the altar too.

In plain words

Ptolemy II declares his parents gods, then himself and his sister-wife: the seat in its literal form. The one who keeps the accounts also stands at the altar, so there is no higher court to bring him before.

The mechanism

THE UN-ACCUSABLE SEAT, LITERAL FORM — the one who holds the accounts is also the one at the altar, so there is no higher court to haul the king before
