By Qdm son of Gmm son of ʾnʿm son of ʾḏnt of the lineage of Nġbr and he rebelled the year Qṣryn was at this place, having lost his brother ʾnʿm, who perished, whom fate struck down, and so he was distraught during {the journey} to reunite with loved ones at Bs¹ʾl, and he surpassed him (there) on his journey [metaphor for the dead man never arriving], [so] may those who remain in an awful circumstance be (justly) compensated, and, O Lt, let there be respite and hasty vengeance against him who has committed this act.

Interpretation
- Commentary
- A text is incised in a coil, with a coiled line separating the lines of the inscription. The r of ʿrtn looks like a k but in fact the extension of the upper hook of the r has a different colour to the rest of the letter.
