- Commentary
- Associated drawing to be numbered. See also photo PH ZF 7-8 This author may be the same as that of C 54. The reading of the third and fourth letters is complicated by the fact that the surface in this area of the face has flaked and repatinated to exactly the same colour as the letters. It is this flaking which is responsible for the apparent fork at the end of the fifth letter which caused Littmann to read it as h. The second bn is at 90° to the rest of the text and the b is square as opposed to the rounded first b. Although the letters h- ḫṭṭ are incised (like M 90) rather than chiselled (like the rest of M 89) their size and position suggests that they are more likely to belong to 89 than to 90.
