- 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: 325) commented: "The inscription occurs to the right of a drawing of an ostrich hunt (a1-a4) involving two hunters with bows and a dog. The position of the text and the lack of other inscriptions nearby suggest ṯtmt was the artist".
