Interpretation

Commentary
It seems possible that some of the letters of have been tampered with. The prongs of the third letter appear to have been joined by a line giving it the appearance of a y and the first b has lines attached to the arms giving it the appearance of a f. The hammered dot for the loop of the first d is rather small. There is a carelessly hammered middle line attached to the second b which gives it the appearance of a ḥ and the t is partly hammered over.
