l ḫfy bn lbʾ bn rbʿ bn ṭwl bn m{k} bn rḍy{l}h bn bʾs¹n
Translation
By Ḫfy son of Lbʾ son of Rrbʿ son of Ṭwl son of {Mk} son of {Rḍylh} son of Bʾs¹n

Interpretation

Commentary
The second name could also be nbʾ which is not previously attested. The k of mk appears to be facing backwards. The name rḍylh has not been found before, but compare Minaic rḍwʾl. A stray scratch appears to cross the fork of the h. Bʾs¹n is attested here for the first time as a personal name in Safaitic.
