62 B., a mere fragment. The enemy are advancing on _Gebal_ with the intention of taking it. 63 B.—This also is much broken. It refers to _Yapaaddu_, to the King’s _Paka_ receiving orders, and to the rulers, and contains the statement, “They have cut off two of my ships, with my sons (or men) and all that was mine.” 80 B. begins with the usual salutation, and continues: “Does the King my Lord know? Behold the city of _Gebal_ has gathered, she has gathered those faithful to the King, and very mighty was the battle of the men of blood against me, and there is no rest through the city of _Simyra_. (Defeat has not befallen?) the men of blood, through the King’s _Paka_ (chief), whom they cast out from the city of _Simyra_. The chief city is troubled. Now _Pakha_(_mnata_), the King’s _Paka_, who (was) in the city of _Simyra_, has sent a message—he has failed. Sixty minas (_mana_)(278) it is that they are asking the city of _Gebal_, from my unhappy land. The battle was waged very mightily against us, and the King is not defended by his fortress.” 81 B.—“To _Rabzabi_(279) ... thus _Ribadda_ thy son.” The letter is much broken. He refers to money, and asks him to complain to the King. He says he is afraid that the freemen are not (faithful?) to the King’s governor, if the broken portion may be so understood. 82 B.—“To _Ribadda_ my son thus by letter (says) King _Rabzabi_ thy father. May our Gods prosper thee, prosper thy fortress. Let him ask to know. The sons of our Lord have spoken accordingly. They have spoken of the strife of the chiefs of the city of _Simyra_. (He has vanquished my fears?) of being made to perish by the city of _Simyra_, of our perishing by these chiefs; and lo! they have allotted decrees, they are creating a memorial. Have I not been bent upon the decrees? and decrees of the King have followed. And unless they have destroyed everything, the King makes sure to show them their master. For the King is imposing decrees. The decrees of the King are saying: ‘Why do ye make a waste land to those who are servants of the King? I shall despatch men. I shall send a garrison for the chief city.’ I am sending the King’s ... to you ... soldiers ... in ... A gathering they are making of all.” In spite of his father’s zealous assistance in Egypt, this favorable intention came too late.
