Amarna letter EA 86, (see here () ), titled: ''Complaint to an Official,''〔Moran 1987, 1992. ''The Amarna Letters.'' EA 86, ''Complaint to an Official,'' pp. 158-9.〕 is a somewhat moderate length clay tablet letter from Rib-Hadda of city-state Byblos (named ''Gubla'' in the letter) to Amanappa, an official at the court of the Pharaoh. The letter has a degraded surface of the clay; it also has missing corners and part of a side. The tablet's obverse fails to yield an easy translation for the last lines of the front and bottom, lines 18-22 (ten percent of the 50-line text). And other lacunae are found throughout the translation. EA 86 is an extremely ovate, pillow-shaped (thick) clay tablet. It is located in the British Museum, no. 29804. ==EA 86== Moran's non-linear letter English language translation (translated from the French language):〔Moran 1987, 1992. ''The Amarna Letters.'' EA 86, ''Complaint to an Official,'' pp. 158-9.〕 Obverse: :(Lines 1-5)--''(to )'' Ama(): Message of Rib-Had(). I fall (your feet ).
