Interpretation

Commentary
There is part of a zig-zag line between the r and {ṣ} which might be belong to the drawing or to the inscription although it is difficult to see where it belongs in either. The fork of the second ṣ is very faint. After the names, the inscription is written on another face of the rock near the top of the drawing. There are four straight lines before the first ṭ which are presumably a mistake for ḫ.
