Amarna letter EA 170

Amarna letter EA 170, titled: "To Aziru in Egypt",[1] is a moderate length letter (44 lines of text), from Aziru, the leader of the region of Amurru.

The initial corpus of letters were found at Akhenaten's city Akhetaten, in the floor of the Bureau of Correspondence of Pharaoh; others were later found, adding to the body of letters.

Letter EA 170 (also see here-(Obverse): [2]), is numbered VAT 327, from the Vorderasiatisches Museum Berlin.

EA 170, letter fifteen of a series of 16 (2 from the Pharaoh), from Aziru of the Amurru kingdom, or his son, or stand-in.
