The Amarna letter EA-10 has been translated to be a correspondence from the Kassite king Burna-Buriash II (Babylon, Mesopotamia) to the Egyptian Pharaoh Amenhotep III, complaining that an agreed upon amount of gold was not met-"As for your messenger whom you sent to me, the 20 minas of gold that were brought here were not all there. When they put it into the kiln, not 5 minas of gold appeared."
