TRANSLATION King: {ḫ}{ṭ}{ṭ} "[the] inscriber". DISCUSSION King (1990: 382) commented: "The f of rfd is a straight line with two hooks facing towards the beginning. The second part of the inscription is carved vertically downwards parallel to the right of the first. The rock is chipped at the end and only parts of the letters ḫ, ṭ and ṭ remain. For this type of prayer, see Ch.4.C.2".
