Say to Napkhureya, the King of Egypt, my brother, my son-in-law, whom I love and who loves me: Message of Tushratta, Great King, the King of Mitanni, your brother, your father-in-law, who loves you. For me all goes well. For you may all go well. For Tiye may all go well. For Tadukheba, my daughter, may all go well. For the rest of your wives may all go well. For your sons, for your magnates, for your chariots, for your horses, for your troops, for your country, and for whatever else belongs to you, may all go very, very well.
From the beginning of my kingship on, as long as Nimmureya [i.e. Amenhotep III – Nebmaatra], your father, went on writing to me, he wrote over and over about peace. …Tiye, the principal and favourite wife of Nimmureya, your father, knows all the words of Nimmureya… that he would write to me… it is Tiye, your mother, whom you must ask about all of them…
From the Amarna letters (AE 29)
