The son and successor of Nectanebo, Teos took over the throne when his father died and continued the taxes that his father had imposed to support the military -- he even increased them. As soon as he took over, he planned an attack on the Persians (despite the fact that they had withdrawn during his father's reign). In order to pay for his plans, he confiscated money from temple treasuries, earning him the enmity of the clergy.
While he did lead a successful campaign against Syria, his attack on the persians was a fiasco from the start. While he had the help of mercenaries from Greece, his own generals disagreed with him. He was eventually abandoned by the Greek mercenaries as well as his own military and fled to Persia where Artaxerxes (his erstwhile opponent) too him in and granted him asylum.
His brother, a regent in Egypt, took control and declared his own son Nectanebo II pharaoh.
Teos died in Persia.
