In the fifteenth century B. C. the kings of Babylon, Assyria and the neighboring countries, and also the governors of Syria, were engaged in an active correspondence with the eighteenth Egyptian dynasty. The medium of communication was the Assyrian language.

This correspondence is the subject of Professor Lyon's Assyrian Reading in the Fogg Museum at 4 p. m. today.
