Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
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: 318) commented: "This text is heavily worn and difficult to make out, but the faint traces of two divine names can be made out. If so, it would be a rare example of a prayer addressed to two gods. Most of the middle portion of the text cannot be read, although it seems to loop around, ending in a ḫṭṭ phrase".
