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: 310–311) commented: "The patronymic occurs slightly out of alignment with the rest of the text, presumable to avoid an irregularity in the stone surface. The position of the inscription to the left of the central ibex figure (a1), the expression ḫṭṭ kll, and the presence of similar drawings by bglt in the area would indicate that bglt [son of zdlh] of the s²hr lineage was responsible for the scene".
