TRANSLATION ḫṭṭ, King: "[the] inscriber". DISCUSSION King (1990: 273) commented: "The inscription is on the left side of the rock, it refers to a camel inscribed to the left of it. ʾʿbdt is not in Harding 1971. See Index a for other occurrences at these sites. ʾʿbdt bn s¹yr occurs in KJB 17. See Ch.4.B.1. for this formula referring to drawings".
