l ḏʾ bn blr bn ʾḫyr
Translation
By ḏʾ son of Blr son of ʾḫyr

Interpretation

Commentary
It seems likely that the author has left out a letter or letters as a name ḏʾ is unlikely. It is possible that a b is missing and the first name should be read ḏʾb or that a l is missing and the name should be read as ḏʾl. The name blr is attested in WH 1725a.
