Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
CEDS 77: l ʿwḏ bn gd bn ḍbʿn w ---- "By ʿwḏ son of Gd son of Ḍbʿn and ----". JMAA VIII p. 6: b[n] lḍ ʿlw for b{n} ḍʿl w; translation of ʿlw "He was exalted".
Commentary
The above reading is what occurs in the copy. The line following the second b is rather long for a n. The copy is either incomplete or the inscription unfinished. CEDS's reading in some respects seems more convincing but there is no copy or photograph to check it with.
