l s²mt bn {ḥ}r{b} h- frs¹n
Translation
By S²mt son of {Ḥrb} are the two horses

Interpretation

Commentary
The letters have been hammered over and joined by carelessly hammered ligatures which makes the reading of some of them difficult. The first letter of the second name and the final letter of the name are uncertain. The former might be a s¹ or m and the latter might be a ḥ depending on whether the middle line is part of the letter or part of the careless hammering. The rock has a split across the front legs of one of the horses.
