Translation
By {Bġḍ} son of ʾs¹hr is the young she-camel

Interpretation

Commentary
The second letter has a side-stroke on Harding's copy which was not reproduced in SIJ's facsimile. But this is almost certainly accidental. NeitherHarding's notebook or SIJ mention a drawing of a camel accompanying the inscription.
