ABSTRACT
Chapter 10 analyzes EA 369, a rare letter that is addressed from the pharaoh to a Canaanite ruler, Milkilu of Gezer. Though we might expect this letter's language to conform to that of other Egyptian Akkadian Letters, it includes several Canaanite scribal features, including two lexical glosses and the only Canaano-Akkadian verb in the Egyptian Amarna corpus. This letter demonstrates that scribes working for the Egyptian court were also involved in intra-group signaling in their letters to scribal peers in Canaan.
