l s²r bn s²dy
Translation
By S²r son of S²dy

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
SIJ 542: s²l for s²r.
Commentary
The third letter has a short horizontal stroke at one end unlike the lām auctoris. On the other hand given that this text is in the same cartouche as SIJ 541 Winnett's suggestion that the author of 542 was the father of the author of 541 cannot be ruled out in which case the name may be [n]s²l or [n]s²r.
