TRANSLATION ḫṭṭ, King: "[the] inscriber". DISCUSSION King (1990: 405–406) commented: "The text starts between the legs of a horse and rider to which ms¹ʿd refers. The bn and patronymic are written to the left of the first part of the text. wfṣ is not in Harding 1971. The b and n are a slightly different colour and technique to the rest of the text and it is not certain that they belong. It is possible that the letters wfṣ are the start of an unfinished text beginning with an introductory w, w fṣ ‘ and fṣ-’".
