(as per EEF; M. Luban) The story says:

"Miserable is your courage, my chariot-fighters.  Of no profit is it to have you for friends.  If there had been only one of you who had shown himself a good (warrior) for my country! If I had not stood firm as your royal lord, you had been conquered.  I exalt you daily to be princes.  I place the son in the inheritance of his father, warding off all injury from the land of the Egyptians, and you forsake me!  Such servants are worthless.  I made you rich, I was your protecting lord, and each of you complained supplicating to me, I gave him protection in his affairs every day.  No Pharaoh has done for his people what I have done for you, …"

See 2003 discovery of fragment of cuneiform archive of Ramses II.

 

(as per EEF; M. Tilgner; 092403)
Dr. Edgar Pusch, who is excavating in Northern Egypt, found a cuneiform
fragment believed to be from the lost diplomatic archive of Ramses II.
It is the first cuneiform find since 1888/89 in Egypt. It measures 5 cm x
5 cm and is written in "Babylonian" [= Akkadian?] language, consists of 11
lines from a larger text referring to the Egyptian-Hittite peace treaty. It
was found 15 cm below the surface in QANTIR. "One fragment is not an
archive. The hope to find the archive has now a certain justification." Pusch is
cited.
