Interpretation

ThNSSMAS: "s¹lm" for "s¹{l}{m}" ThNSUS 3: "s¹l{m}" for "s¹{l}{m}"
Commentary
The last name is rather doubtful. The penultimate letter is rather shorter thatn the other l's and it is possible it should be read as a n. The last letter if that is what it is is lightly scratched unlike the rest of the text which is directly hammered and chiselled in clear neat lines.
