- 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: 324) commented: "The l of PN2 is out of alignment with the rest of the text. The last three letters of the inscription have been completely effaced, although based on the position and rough shape of the erasures, I would read ḫṭṭ. To the right of PN1 is a drawing of an animal (a1) that was likely signed by the inscription".
