Commentary
Most of the text is visible on the photograph with the exception of 3 or 4 letters after ʿl. The verb tẓr is normally folowed by a direct object so ʿl is unlikely to represent the preposition here and is more probably the beginning of a noun perhaps ʿlf = ʿdry fodderʾ. The l's and r's are well differentiated hence SIJ's reading of the first name is untenable.
