By Gmḥ son of ʾḥs¹n son of S¹by are the two young she-camels

Interpretation

Commentary
The third n is rather uncertain but it seems likely that arms of the previous b have been extended to join the line of the letter forming a circle. There is a scratched cartouche surrounding the inscription and one of the camels.
