Abstract：

The Amarna tablets are an important source for the study of relationship of ancient West Asia and North Africa, and eight of them(33—40) are correspondences between Alashia and Egypt. These tablets are all written from the Arashia to the Egyptian and are mainly concerned with envoys and gift-giving between the two countries, although a few tablets refer to other matters, for example, EA 34 mentions to the signing of a treaty between the two countries, and EA 38 deals with the Pharaoh's accusation of Arashia's cooperation with the men of Lukka. Since the discovery of these tablets, scholars have continued to consulted and collated them, and this article provides Chinese translations and annotations of these tablets based on western scholars' research.
