Berenice was the daughter of Mariamne, daughter of Herod Agrippa, and Gaius Julius Archelaus Antiochus Epiphanes, son of Chelcias (maybe Hilkiya in Hebrew, who was a friend and an officer at the court). She was born sometime after 50 CE. After her parents had divorced, she lived with her mother in Alexandria.
