my brother ... I saw, and I rejoiced very much. My brother
utters this message and (says) 'As with my father _Amenophis III_ you were
friends, now behold this day be friends with me thy brother. You will
continue to be kind,' and I have not delayed ... with my brother. Lo! ten
times more than to your father I will be a friend.

"And your father _Amenophis III_ spoke this message in his letter (by your
...) _Mani_, 'Continue thou the friendship,'(400) and when my brother
_Amenophis III_ said this, lo! what I had sent was nothing at all, and my
brother shall not consider it anything. And I do not send this present,

plenty, and the possessions which are marvellous,(402) which I shall send
to my brother: behold them also with your eyes.' And my envoys beheld with
their eyes.

"But now, my brother, the treasures remitted, which your father sent, you
shall not send, but the woods (or trees) have been received.(403) You are
sending the possessions that your father sent to me. You shall not send
them, but shall store them up very much.

"And thinking of all that one has known, how I rejoiced because of my
brother, none ever brought salutation from him at any time, my brother,
