Interpretation

Commentary
There is a dot after the m which is probably extraneous as the name ʿmʿrlt is difficult to explain. The second name might read ltb or, as suggested here, klb with one line of the k joined to the l which is then joined with another line to the following b. The author has not finished the inscription or the drawing of an ibex.
