- 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: 303) commented: "This inscription signs a drawing of a she-camel (a1) to the right of the text. After the final ṭ there is another mark that looks like an alif, although this would appear to be a later addition. To the right of the main text and drawing is smaller drawing of a camel in outline style".
