“So I shall send to my brother, and I say thus myself, so let us be much more friendly; and do not you respond to us? And I say thus, that my brother has enriched me ten times more than my father. “And I have asked much gold of my brother: so he has given me more than to my father. My brother indeed sent to me; and to my father you sent much gold: much (merchandise?) of gold; and besides all the gold you sent him you have sent me bricks of gold (lavished?) like copper. “I sent _Gilia_ (humbly?) to my brother, and asked for gold. Thus indeed I (said) ‘Truly my brother has given me more than to my father, and may he send me untold gold.’ “May my brother send me more than to my father; and now I say thus to my brother: the (loan?) that my grandfather made, so I may (say), as (one thinking little of wealth?) he made it for thee; and now as regards (what) I say, the gold that my brother shall send, let him send it when he likes. “Lo my brother has sent the gold saying ‘It is due to you,’ But no. No more was due; and he had satisfied the account; and when he had satisfied the account I was glad thereof exceedingly; and whatever my brother sends I have been very glad thereof. “Now behold I sent to my brother—and may my brother extend his kindness to me more than to my father; now I asked gold of my brother, and whatever gold I asked of my brother, he has sent the double of what was asked. One (sum) for the (loan?), and a second of good-will. “And may my brother send me untold gold; and may he send me more than to my father; and so may the Gods decree, that much more gold beside be in my brother’s land, as there now is in my brother’s land; and ten times more than there now is, may it increase.(377) And let not my brother refuse the gold that I ask by my brother’s wish; and, as for me, let me not refuse my brother’s wish; and may my brother send me very much gold uncounted; and whatever my brother needs let him send and take. Let me return the gift that my brother desires for his household. This land is my brother’s land, and this house is my brother’s house. “Now I send _Gilia_ my envoy to my brother. Let him not refuse him. Let him speedily command him: let him send him away. So hearing my brother’s salutation let me rejoice exceeding much. Let me ever hear my brother’s salutation. And these messages that we send, let my God _Rimmon_ and _Amanu_ decree that they may arrive through their mercy. And as now it is prayed therefor, so we are friends; and as now so forever may we be friends.
