King my Lord, I have heard as to going to meet the Egyptian (_bitati_) soldiers of the King my Lord who are with us, to meet the general (_Paka_) with (all the infantry?) ... all who have marched to overthrow the King my Lord. Truly a (great strength to the people?) are the Egyptian (_bitati_) soldiers of the King my Lord, and his commander (_Paka_). As for me, do I not order all to ... after them?

He has wearied out our chiefs. The fortresses of the King my Lord my God ... are for men of blood. And now strong is the god of the King my Lord my God my Sun; and the city of _Tubakhi_ goes forth to war, and I have stirred up my brethren, and I guard the city of _Tubakhi_ for the King my Lord my God my Sun. And behold this city of _Tubakhi_ is the city of the plains of my fathers.”

Behold a message to me to speed to meet the Egyptian (_bitati_) soldiers. And who am I but a dog only, and shall I not march? Behold me, with my soldiers and my chariots meeting the Egyptian soldiers at the place of which the King my Lord speaks.”
