Amarna letter EA 16

Amarna Letter EA 16 is part of the corpus of the Amarna Letters, a set of letters written mostly in Akkadian found at the Egyptian capital of Tell El-Amarna.[1] The text records a correspondence from Ashur-uballit I, Founder of the Middle Assyrian Empire, to an uncertain ruler of Ancient Egypt. The name of the Pharaoh is partially broken off with most scholars favoring a reading that matches the praenomen of Akhenaten but it is also possibly the praenomen of Ay (pharaoh).[2]
