TRANSLATION {ḫ}ṭṭ, King: "[the] inscriber". DISCUSSION King (1990: 377) commented: "The ḫ looks more like an ʾ. The drawing that mbʿl refers to is a camel suckling a young camel. For the formula used with drawings, see Ch.4.B.1. mbʿl is not in Harding 1971. See Index a for other occurrences at these sites".
