- 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: 291) commented: "This inscription occurs directly above the drawing of a she-camel (a1). The she-camel is flanked on its left by another animal drawing, possibly a hunting dog or cheetah (a2). I have taken the two drawings to be the work of the same artist, though it is unclear exactly what is being depicted (camel hunting?)".
