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: 293) commented: "The t in gmʿt is slightly weathered. To the left of the inscription, the characters b and n (bn) are apparent but cannot be related specifically to this inscription. It is also possible that this inscription signs inscription #1".
