Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
King (1990: 352) commented: "Written above the head of an ibex. The letters are badly formed. The fork of the h is shallow. Perhaps what I have read as l after ḫṭṭ should be restored as r and read as a repetition of the author’s name. For this formula used with drawings, see Ch.4.B.1".
