- TRANSLATION ḫṭṭ, King: "[the] inscriber". DISCUSSION King (1990: 437) commented: "The two clauses of the text are written parallel to each other, the beginning is on the right. The rock is chipped after the second name but traces of a b remain. For this type of prayer, see Ch.4.C.2. ḏfrn is not in Harding 1971. It occurs KJC 53 and KJC 45 as well".
