I have been using some Ptolemaic sources e.g. the Zenon Papyri and the letter of Aristeas
But if anyone knows of any other Ptolemaic primary source as well that might describe their time in Judea and/or the Syrian Wars, please let me know.
It's been hard trying to find these things especially right now
Have you considered the books of 1st and 2nd Macabees? I'm not sure if you would find it to be a valid source but it talks about the rebellion of Juda Macabee against Antichous Epiphanies.
