Text Information

Siglum
KRS 200
Transliteration
l rhdt {b}---- {b}{n} hys¹r bn ḍhdt bn s¹dy h- [ḫ]ṭṭ
Translation
By Rhdt {son of} ---- {son of} Hys¹r son of Ḍhdt son of S¹dy is the {carving}

Interpretation

Commentary
The text between the first and third names has been scratched over and is very faint. It seems likely that the second name should be restored as brbr as the name rhdt bn brbr occurs in KRS 199 and the genealogy rhdt bn brbr bn hys¹r bn ḍhdt bn s¹dy occurs in KRS 189. The ḫ of ḫṭṭ is damaged by scratching. The drawing shows a horseman spearing what appears to be another equid, possibly an onager.
