12 B.--The salutation is the same, mentioning only one son of the King of
Egypt.

"My brother has speedily sent my envoys (under escort?), and I heard your
salutation. The chief (and) my merchants my brother has despatched
speedily (under escort?): has not your chief approached with my merchants
and my fleet (or ship)?"

15 B.--A much broken letter from the same, referring to the sending of
copper. The last words appear to be "let him come returning year by year."

11 B.--The salutation is the same, including "thy house, thy
concubines,(429) thy sons," etc. This is a very difficult letter, but
appears to read: "Why, my brother, do you utter this message to me? My
brother has known nothing at all that I have not done. As for me, behold
the Chiefs of the land of the Lucci(430) whom you confounded in my land, I
(was) glad should be conquered."

"My brother you say to me, 'Lo the Chiefs of thy land are with them,' but
I (say) my brother has not known this that they are with them; (or) if
they are Chiefs of my land. But send thou to me and do as I wish.

"Do not you know the Chiefs of my land? Do not make this message (even) if
they are Chiefs of my land. But do as you wish.

"Lo! my brother, as you do not send my envoy, this letter will speak for
me as a brother of the King. It is brought by your envoy.

"Moreover, I have perceived neither hinderance nor evil in what was done,
and lo! my brother, are not you at rest in your heart?"

5 B. M.--The salutation is in the fullest form--nine lines. The letter is
almost perfect, and continues:

"Lo I have sent to thy presence five hundred pieces of copper (or bronze)
as a present for my brother; as brother, little copper is found (is it not
so) in your midst. When the power of _An-Amar-ut_(431) my Lord smote the
whole of the men of my land, and none made bronze, also my brother it has
not been found in thy midst.

"Your envoy with my envoy I hope
