_ (and) make him flee ... all will rebel ... My Lord, know him. My Lord (know) the men who are his foes ... And lo! now the King of the land of the _Hittites_ ... with pride rebels against his gods. And men who are destroyers serve the King of the land of the _Hittites_: he sends them forth. My Lord, my servants, the men of the city of _Katna_, _Aziru_ expels, and all that is theirs, out of the land of the dominion of my Lord; and behold (he takes?) the northern lands of the dominion of my Lord. Let (my Lord) save the ... of the men of the city _Katna_. My Lord truly they made ... he steals their gold my Lord; as has been said there is fear, and truly they give gold. My Lord--Sun God, my fathers' god(133)--the men have made themselves your foes, and they have wasted from over against the abode of their camp (or fortress); and now behold--O Sun God of my fathers--the King of the _Hittites_ makes them march. And know of them, my Lord--may the gods make slack their hand. As has been said there is fear. And lo! perchance the Sun God of my fathers will turn his heart toward me. My Lord's word is sure, and let the (increase or tithe of gold?) be given him, as we have purposed for the Sun God of my fathers.

My Lord, now there is flight and no breathing of the ... of the King my Lord. And behold now the ... of this dominion of my Lord, in these lands ... and behold now ... the King of the land of the _Hittites_ ... sends forth ... and the heart of ... smites him. And now behold the King my Lord sends to me, and is complaining ... with me as to the rule of the King of the land of the _Hittites_. And as for me ... the King of the land of the _Hittites_. As for me I am with the King my Lord, and with the land of Egypt. I sent and ... as to the rule of the King of the land of the _Hittites_." This text is much damaged; it goes on to speak of _Aidugama_,(134)the Hittite King, in the country of the King of Egypt, who has taken various things--enumerated, but not intelligible--including, perhaps, ships or boats, and dwellings; and it mentions _Neboyapiza_.
