Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
ThNSSMAS: as ThNSUS ThNSUS 2.1: "ġlmʿḍ" at end.
Commentary
There are three loop shapes after the second l and it looks as thought the original letters have been tampered with. It is possible the first is a m and then there might be a b and n that have been joined together. The last loop might be a m with a further letter which has been hammered over and joined to it. There is a cartouche surrounding the inscription.
