TRANSLATION ḫṭṭ, King: "[the] inscriber". DISCUSSION King (1990: 446) commented: "Written down from the legs of a feline which is part of the drawing to which the inscription refers. The reading after ḫṭṭ is doubtful. The b and n are joined and look like a ṭ. The next letter has a slight hook although but it seems to be a different colour to the rest of the letters".
