- Translation
- By Mġyr son of Ṣʿd son of Tm son of Ṣʿd son of Zḥk son of Ms²ʿr son of S¹ʿd. And he encamped at this place. So, O lt and Bʿls¹mn, [grant] security! And he found the inscription of Ġs¹m and longed (for him); and he grieved for Ṣʿd, who was killed, and of Mʿz, who was killed, and of Glḥn, who was killed. So, blindness to him, who effaces this inscription!
