Language and Script
Taymanitic

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Eskoubi: l- ʾd bn qrṣt rather than l s¹d h- {n}qr----t.
Commentary
It is not certain that the script is Taymanitic, though the form of the h and the n (if that is what it is) would suggest this. There seems to be one line at the beginning and another at the end of the text and a word-divider of a a vertical line of the same height as the letters. Between the r and the t a letter has been erased.

Associated Signs
Above the text is a horned visage (a large V with a horizontal line between the two prongs).
