| Summary: | In this article the tablet El-Amarna (EA) 186 is discussed, with special reference to the circumstances in this document. The matter of concern is the provision made, for some reason or other, to the group of 'Apiru active in the situation that is descriptionbed in this document. It is clear that as payment for services rendered by the 'Apiru they received some form of compensation. The 'Apiru in this situation, as indicated in this letter, were most probably conscript soldiers, mercenaries for Amanhatpe. A number of words could fill the lacuna in EA 186:20 passim. Considering all the aspects of the situation under discussion, the conduct and the activities of the 'Apiru, it would seem that, after their victorious return, they would be treated to a special occasion, such as a banquet with food and wine. In the case of Hasi and the escapees, they would be comforted, sustained and given refuge, receiving food and shelter. |
