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: 315) commented: "This inscription is drawn around the front side of the main horse and rider drawing (a1). It may have been carved as an offering for the prayer of text #8".
