Abstract


Egyptian texts show how the peaceful contacts with trading aims hold by Egypt with its neighbours since the beginning of its history got formalized and controlled by the administration at the end of the 20th and beginning of the 19th century BC. These contacts took place through the «commissioner» (wpwtyw), acting as guide-interpreter or messenger of the king, or speaker or deputy of foreign embassies before the king. The relevance of the commissioners' role in the foreign affairs of the XVIIIth dynasty increased gradually, their actions being identified with those of the king himself, and their kingdom borders (t3š) with the perimeter of their actions.
