- Corbett (2010: 322) commented: "In this prayer text, the construct phrase dʿn ġṯlh (sheep of ġṯlh) functions as the object of the prayer. This text occurs below the main hunt scene and to the left of a she-camel drawing. The letters wind around the front leg of the camel. Given that this is a prayer text, it is possible that the drawing of the she-camel was intended as an offering to the god ḏs²ry".
