l fṣʾl bn ʾfṣ{l} w wgm

By Fṣʾl son of {ʾfṣl} and he grieved

Interpretation

Commentary
It is possible the line read as the third l is not a letter belonging to the text. The inscription appears to have been scratched on to the rock and then the letters of the name have been hammered over and a crude attempt has been made to join the letters
