Say to Mimmuwareya, the king of Egypt, my brother: Thus Kadašman-Enlil, the king of Karaduniyaš. For me and my country all goes well. For you, for your wives, for your sons, for your magnates, your horses, your chariots, and your entire country, may all go very well.
With regards to my brother's writing me about marriage, saying, I desire your daughter, why should you not marry her? ... My daughters are available, but their husbands must be a king or of royal blood. These are the only ones I accept for my daughters. No king has ever given his daughters to anyone not of royal blood.
Your daughters are available, why have you not given me one?
...fine horses...20 wooden...of gold...120 shekels...I send to you as your greeting gift.60 shekels of lapis-lazuli I send as the greeting gift of your sister,...my wife
