TRANSLATION ḫṭṭ, King: "[the] inscriber". DISCUSSION King (1990: 677) commented: "The two ṭ's are fairly clear on the published photograph. Part of the k and the two last letters are missing from the photograph but the above reading is justified from the copy. bn ʿbd is written to the left of the end of the first name and was read by Winnett 1971 with WAM T 33. The name gryt bn ʿbd occurs again in TIJ 134, for patronyms written to the side of the rest of the text, see Ch.2.G".
