- TRANSLATION ḫṭṭ, King: "[the] inscriber". DISCUSSION King (1990: 312) commented: "The text reads in a curve and is mostly obscured by recent drawings. The g is not visible at all and is restored on the basis of the name occurring elsewhere. One part of the zig-zag of the f is visible and a section of the l. The ḫ of ḫṭṭ is not legible and most of the final ṭ is obscured although a line can be seen down the side of one of the camel’s front legs. The author is probably referring to drawings of two camels and riders and an indistinct drawing of a horseman and rider. For the formula, see Ch.4.B.2".
