Interpretation

Commentary
There are numerous extraneous lines around and within the inscription: around the lām auctoris, through the gg of the first name, through the bn and the second name, between the second and third letters of the second name, and on the h- before ḫṭṭ. For the second name one would expect the common patter b-PN-h but both side strokes of the ʾ here look deliberate.

Associated Signs
9 (?) lines behind the camel
