- TRANSLATION ḫṭṭ, King: "[the] inscriber". DISCUSSION King (1990: 288) commented: "Above KJB 152. The inscription starts between the legs of a camel and then turns left. ḫṭṭ is written vertically up the rock in front of the camel. The names ʾs²ṣr and zdqm are not in Harding 1971. For other occurrences of ʾs²ṣr bn zdqm, see Index a. The name ʾs²ṣr by itself occurs in KJB 151 on this rock. For this formula used with drawings, see Ch.4.B.2".
