EA 365, Biridiya letter no. 7 of 7: "Furnishing corvée workers"

Say [to the ki]ng-(i.e. pharaoh), my lord and my [Su]n: Message of Biridiya, the loyal servant of the king. I fall at the feet of the king, my lord and my Sun, 7 times and 7 times.
May the king, my lord, take cognizance of his servant and his city. In fact, only I am
šu in Šunama-(Shunem), and only I am furnishing corvée workers. But consider the mayors that are near me. They do not act as I do. They do not cultivate in Šunama, and they do not furnish corvée workers. Only I– ia8-hu-du-un-ni (by myself) furnish corvée workers. From Yapu
they come, from [ my] resources here, (and) from Nuribta. And may the king, my lord, take cognizance of his city. —EA 365, lines 1-31 (complete)
