Interpretation

Commentary
The last letter of the first name can also be construed as a ḫ; however, the name mrḫ is unknown while mrʾ is frequently attested. The ṭ of the second name is missing the cross-bar. S¹nṭ is unattested while s¹nt is common, but there does not seem to be a way to read t on the rock.
