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: 319) commented: "This inscription is found between a camel and rider drawing and several human figures armed with bows. The position of the text, the author’s use of ḫṭṭ kll, and the small number of additional inscriptions suggests fšg was the principal artist of the scene".
