“…Turam-ili took on the role of a banker, overseeing other merchants and the "bala," which was a central account to which merchants made deposits of silver, grains, building materials, and other goods that could then be lent out to surrounding businesses and used for various financial transactions. 26 In one text, Turam-ili provided a loan of silver to Nur-Adad, another merchant, with interest set at 20 percent. A beer brewer, on the other hand, received a loan of barley at an interest rate of more than 33 percent.…”

Alex hears a chime, looks up from her espresso machine, and glances at the clock. Her coffee shop opens for the day in half an hour. As she finishes steaming her milk, she leans over to check her phone and investigate the source of the sound. It's a notification from her Small Business Insights dashboard: "Alex, it's time to order new water filters, descaling powder, and cleaning tablets for your annual spring cleaning." Alex walks over to the café's counter and consults her dashboard. She clicks the reminder on the home screen and takes a sip of her coffee as the machine quickly analyzes her past buying behavior and scans for the best deals online. She then reviews the bot's suggestions for purchases. Seeing that she is getting a great price and the fastest shipping available, Alex happily taps the "buy" button. In a split second, her order is placed, and the real-time cash flow projections on the right side of her screen update to reflect the latest expense.With 15 minutes to go before the shop opens, Alex takes a moment to review the messages in the "employee" tab of her dashboard. There are two alerts that require her attention. It looks like Sean, a barista, cannot make his shifts this weekend. The platform received his request for a shift trade last night, pinged available employees based on their schedules, and found a replacement who could handle the busy weekend hours. All Alex has to do is approve the switch. Alex then asks her dashboard to estimate what her cash will look like after she pays her employees this week. The projections look positive, so she authorizes the machine to send out paychecks tomorrow morning.The second alert informs Alex that she may need a loan at the end of the month. The town is holding a summer fair and her business will be featured with its own booth. She will need to pay for extra employees that weekend to staff both the café and the booth, and she will need to make additional inventory purchases of ice and coffee beans for cold brew, as the weather is sure to be warm. "Don't worry!" Alex's bot chirps. "It looks like you'll need about $4000 to prep for the fair, but you are preapproved for several loans and the terms are good. We can touch base again in a week."Alex returns to the "home" screen and scans the various graphs predicting cash flow and highlighting future spikes in spending. Her dashboard bot, an animated coffee mug, pops up on the screen to give her a weekly industry update: "Alex, as I mentioned to you last month, cafés

“…Birbirlerinden farklı yağmacı gruplar ve korsanlar, Suriye ve Filistin'deki farklı kentlerle farklı çıkar ilişkileri geliştirmekteydi. Alalah metinlerinde, paralı asker olarak, bu grupların sayılarının azımsanmayacak derecede yüksek olduğu görülmektedir 63. Yerleşik politik yapıların bu gruplarla geliştirdiği ilişki biçimi, onların tek bir politik düzlemde yer almasına engel oluyordu.…”

Özet M.Ö. 14. yüzyılda Suriye ve Filistin, döneme özgü askeri, siyasi, ekonomik, sosyal ve kültürel dinamikler üzerinden şekillenmiştir. Amarna Çağı olarak adlandırılan dönemde, bölgedeki önemli ticaret merkezleri ve küçük politik yapılar arasındaki çıkar çatışmaları, büyük politik güçlerin bu bölgedeki hâkimiyet alanlarının genişlemesi veya daralmasında önemli ölçüde etkili olmuştur. Suriye ve Filistin Bölgesi'nde yer alan kentlerin askeri anlamda yetersizliği, bölgede bulunan göçebe ve yağmacı grupların hareket alanlarını genişletmiştir. Göçebe ve yağmacı grupların ormanlık ve dağlık alanlarda, coğrafyanın da sunduğu imkânlarla gerçekleştirdikleri küçük gruplar halindeki saldırılar karşısında, bu güçlere karşı etkili bir mücadele verilememiştir. Yağmacı ve göçebe gruplar, bölgede yer alan ve askeri savunma anlamında yetersiz küçük politik merkezler ile bölgede ekonomik ve askeri çıkarları bulunan büyük politik güçler, Mitanni, Hitit ve Mısır tarafından kendi aralarındaki mücadelelerde paralı asker olarak kullanılmışlardır. Bu çalışmada, Amarna Çağı'nda, doğası gereği çok çabuk siyasi kamp değiştiren göçebe ve yağmacı grupların politik anlamda yükselişinde etkili olan vekâlet savaşları, bölgesel çatışmalar ve çıkar ilişkileri tartışılacaktır.
