Amarna letter EA 369
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amarna letter EA 369 is a letter written on a clay tablet from the pharaoh to Milkilu of Gezer. The tablet is now housed in the Musées Royaux d'Art et d'Histoire, in Brussels.[note 1]
The letter is one of a small number of the Amarna Letters that were written in Egypt, and sent out from the pharaoh to vassals.[1] Other Amarna letters sent to vassals included EA 99, 162, 163, 190, 367, and 370.[1]
The letter details the king sending female cupbearers, silver, linen garments, carnelian, precious stones, an ebony chair, with a total value of 160 deben.[1][2] It also states that he is sending forty female cupbearers, which are recorded as 40 silver each.[1][2] Some linguistic features of the letter indicate that the scribe also may have been of Gezer origin.[3]
