- TRANSLATION ḫṭṭ, King: "[the] inscriber". DISCUSSION King (1990: 270) commented: "Written down and curving to the right between an archer and a dog. The final ṭ of ḫṭṭ is very small and two of the prongs run into each other. ḏʾb’s contribution to the composition might be the smaller dog and archer since KJB 74 mentions an ibex and a dog. For this formula used with drawings, see Ch.4.B.1".
