Apparatus Criticus
Corbett (2010: 366) commented: "This curving text signs a drawing of an oryx (a1) being attacked by at least five dogs (a2-a5, a7) and two hunters with bows (a6, a8). The substantive ʾklb is a rare plural form of klb, denoting a small number of dogs. A drawing of an ostrich is carved above the text. The function of the two enclitic lams here is uncertain".
