Apparatus Criticus
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: 379) commented: "The PN of this text is not discernable because of weathering to the rock. The text occurs directly below a drawing of lions being attacked by hunters, which would suggest PN drew the scene".
