TRANSLATION ḫṭṭ, King: "[the] inscriber". DISCUSSION King (1990: 371) commented: "The s¹, the circle of the y, the gap between one set of arms of the ḫ and both the ṭ’s have been hammered over and filled in. For this formula used with drawings, see Ch.4.B.1. The text is written down between the legs of a camel and rider to which s¹yr is referring. He might have inscribed the drawing to the left as well".
