l bll bn nṣr bn lhb bn mlk bn mlk bn ymlk bn mlk ḏ- ʾl ʿmn
Translation
By Bll son of Nṣr son of Lhb son of Mlk son of Mlk son of Ymlk son of Mlk of the lineage of ʿmn

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
BRCM: s²hb for lhb;
Commentary
The third name looks more like lhb than s²hb on the photograph. There are two dents in the stone above the h and the b which makes the h look like a ṣ but the one above the h is not actually joined to it. The m of the lineage name is facing backwards.
