Amarna letter EA 86 (see here [2]), titled: Complaint to an Official,[1] is a somewhat moderate length clay tablet letter from Rib-Haddaofcity-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.
