which he established for him ... he gave him..."

About twenty lines of the letter are here destroyed; the broken lines
below continue thus:

"And lo! my Lord ... and the King of the land of the _Hittites_ why ... my
Lord the letters ... and fearing ... and lo! the King of _Egypt_ ... and
now my Lord against ... and to the hands ... to our Lord ... thy Lord in
the years that may come.... Do not scorn, since the land was faithful in
service to the King my Lord. And if God commands my Lord to go forth, let
my Lord also send a chief, to be sent up to him with his soldiers and with
his chariots."

CALLIMMASIN'S LETTERS

1 B.--"To _Amenophis III_ the King of _Egypt_ by letter thus
_(Cal)limmasin_(410) the King of _Carandunias_ (Babylonia) thy brother. I
am at peace. To thee, to thy house, thy wives, thy land, thy chariots, thy
horses, thy ... be much peace.

opinion. For I followed ... and the present that he is instructed to ...
is thirty _manahs_ of gold, which you ... a gift of alliance."

The rest is too broken to read. It mentions five women sent, and ten
wooden chariots--the latter as presents. The next letter is from Egypt.
Either a copy or an original never sent.(411)

1 B. M.--"To _Callimmasin_ King of _Carandunias_ my brother, by letter thus
_Amenophis III_ the great King, the King of _Egypt_ thy brother. There is
peace to my region. To thy region be peace: to thy house, to thy wives, to
thy sons, to thy Lords, to thy horses, to thy chariots, and in thy hands
be much peace. I am at peace. There is much peace to my house, to my
wives, to my sons, to my Lords, my horses, my chariots, my army; and in my
lands there is much peace.

"Now I heard the message you sent about her to me. Thus it was, 'Now you
ask my daughter as your wife, but my sister whom my father gave thee,
being good to you, has any seen her whether she has lived or whether she
has died?' This
