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: 322) commented: "The patronymic of this inscription occurs in a second column. The inscription occurs above a scene of an ibex (a1) being hunted by a man (a2) and a dog (a3) which was carved by the author. There is a later marking above the inscription".
