TRANSLATION ḫṭṭ, King: "[the] inscriber". DISCUSSION King (1990: 364–365) commented: "The text starts between the legs of a seluqi and then turns right. The word ḫṭṭ is written left to right above the end of zdqm. Neither names are in Harding 1971. See Index a for other occurrences at these sites. For this formula referring to drawings, see Ch.4.B.1".
