89 B.—This is much broken. After the usual salutation he says that Abdasherah has fought strongly, and has seized cities belonging to Gebal; that news has reached the city as to what has befallen the city _Ammia_ (_Amyun_) from the men of blood. A certain _Berber_(239) chief is mentioned. He speaks of “two months,” apparently as the limit of time in which he expects to be aided by the _bitati_, or Egyptian soldiers. Abdasherah is marching on Gebal.
79 B.—Also broken. With the usual salutation, speaks of a great fight with the men of blood, who made an end of men, women, and soldiers of his poor country. He sent men, and they were beaten. The city of _Irkata_ (Arkah) is mentioned, and the King of the _Hittites_, who is making war on all the lands. The King of _Mitani_ will be king of the weak (or false) land of the writer’s people. He concludes by calling _Abdasherah_ a dog.
44 B.—After the usual salutation, this letter appears perhaps to refer to the coming of Irimaia. “Lo the King shall send the choicest of thy chiefs—a son of Memphis (_Nupi_) to guard the city.” The text is then much broken, referring to the palace and to cavalry, and to guarding the city for the King. He will fulfil the wishes of the _Pakas_, and is a faithful servant, as they would testify. The lands are to be made quiet again. “I say as to myself, lo! my heart is not at all changed as to my intention to serve the King my Lord. Now pronounce this judgment O Lord of justice. Cause all to be told that whoever crosses over from his own place the King my Lord will ... My Lord shall decide that this evil shall not go on. Who shall say anything against it? Now return a letter, and all my possessions that are with _Yapaaddu_ (he will make equally safe?) in the sight of the King.”
72 B.—“To _Khaia_(240) the _Pa_ ... (an Egyptian title) thus says _Ribadda_. I bow at thy feet. The God _Amen_ and the God _Sa_ ...(241) have given you power in the presence of the King. Behold thou art a man of good ... the King knows, and through your zeal the King sends you for a _Paka_. Why is it asked and you will not speak to the King? that he should order for us Egyptian soldiers to go up to the place—the city _Simyra_. Who is _Abdasherah?_—a slave, a dog, and shall the King’s land be smitten by him? Who set him up? And mighty with men of blood is the strength of his power. But send reinforcements: fifty _tapal_ (companies?) of horse and 200 foot soldiers; and both shall go forth from the city _Sigata_(242) (Shakkah). Know his intentions. Until the (_bitati_) Egyptian soldiers are sent he will not be mastered, (nor) any of the men of blood, and the city of _Sigata_ and the city of _Ambi_(243) are both taken, and thus ...”
