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: 354) commented: "The r of ġr is carved slightly out of line with the rest of the text. The text is carved in two parallel columns".
