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: 311) commented: "Near the middle of the text, there is a drawing of an arrow, not to be mistaken for the letter h or s¹. Below the start of the inscription is a drawing of a hunting dog in full stride (a5). To the left is the central ibex figure (a1). To the right is a smaller hunting dog (a4). ngf also carved text #9".
