TRANSLATION ḫṭṭ, Corbett: "(he) carved". To take ḫṭṭ as a verb here is too vague in a context where the inscription is in effect a signature to the drawing. DISCUSSION Corbett (2010: 377) commented: "To the right of the text is a drawing of a horse (in outline style). There is a large drawing of a human figure with arms upraised to the left of the inscription".
