Apparatus Criticus
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: 366) commented: "This text signs a drawing of an ibex carved to the right of the inscription (a1). The inscriptional formula and style of the drawing would suggest ʾḏkw was the artist. Above the text is another drawing of an ibex, but different in style".
