Translation
By ʾʾs¹d son of S²ʿ son of Ḥg son of S¹wd and he fed the goats on dry fodder the year of misery because Bʿls¹mn withheld it (i.e. the rain); but may he preserve (it) thereafter (lit. after it); and may he who would read aloud have spoil but may he who would efface this writing go blind.
