TRANSLATION ḫṭṭ, King: "[the] inscriber". DISCUSSION King (1990: 372–373) commented: "The last word is written over a ridge and on to a different face to the beginning. It is possible that the first letter is a r and the name should be read rġṯt. For the formula referring to drawings, see Ch.4.B.1. There is a camel below the text".
