TRANSLATION ʾl, Corbett: "upon"; 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: 321) commented: "In this prayer text, the name of the goddess is spelled ʾlt, as opposed to the more common lt. Also, based on this text, I have taken the author kmn (son of ʾs¹lm) to be the grandson of ms¹lm of the nht lineage".
