Text Information

Siglum
KRS 2371
Transliteration
l ḫṭs¹t bn ms¹k h- ḫ[ṭ][ṭ]
Translation
By Ḫṭs¹t son of Ms¹k is the {carving}

Interpretation

Commentary
The letter after the s¹ is doubtful but it is possible that it is a k. The vertical line appears to be broken and the cross line seems to run into a natural line in the rock which makes it appear much longer. The rock is chipped after the letter. There are lines after the ḫ and it is likely that the word ḫṭṭ should be restored.
