By {Ẓʿn} son of {s¹fʿ}

Interpretation

Commentary
The ʿ of the first name is damaged and an attempt appears to have been made to erase the letter which followed it. The last 5 letters are very thinly and shallowly scratched and are difficult to read on the photograph. They may not belong to this inscription. s¹fʿ has been found once before in JaS 15.
