The scribe of his six letters to Egypt were penned by the “Jerusalem scribe”; EA 286 is a moderately long, and involved letter.Unlike similar length letters by the Jerusalem scribe, namely EA 287, EA 288, and shorter EA 289, EA 286 is damaged over the entire surface by erosion, probably from moisture. Other small sections of the clay tablet letter are missing entirely, with text supplied by the story’s context.The Amarna letters, about 300, numbered up to EA 382, are a mid 14th century BC, about 1350 BC and 20\u201325 years later, correspondence. The initial corpus of letters were found at Akhenaten’s city Akhetaten, in the floor of the Bureau of Correspondence of Pharaoh; others were later found, adding to the body of letters.Letter EA 286 (see here-(Obverse & Reverse): [1]), is numbered VAT 1642, from the Vorderasiatisches Museum Berlin.Table of ContentsThe letter[edit]EA 286: “A Throne Granted, Not Inherited”[edit]Akkadian text[edit]See also[edit]External links[edit]References[edit]The letter[edit]EA 286: “A Throne Granted, Not Inherited”[edit]EA 286, letter two of six.

For my part, I say, “I would go40. in to the king, my lord, and visit41. the king, my lord,” but the war42. against me is severe, and so I am not able43. to go in to the king, my lord.44. And may it seem good in the sight of the king,45. [and] may he send a garrison46. so I may go in and visit47. the king, my lord. In truth, the king, my lord,48. lives: whenever the commissioners have come out,49. I would say (to them), “Lost are the lands of the king,”50. but they did not listen to me.51.

The king has no lands.56. (The) ‘Apiru have plundered all the lands of the king.57. If there are archers58. this year, the lands of59. the king, my lord, will remain.
