Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: JaS: ḥrbt w ʿrf s¹fr yḫld f ndm w ḫyṭ l w dṯʾ b mgd for ḥr---- w ʿr{f} s¹fr yḫld f nd{m} w ḫyṭ l----{h}mgd which is translated from w ʿrf as "And he has recognized the writing of Yḫld and has grieved and he has journeyed straight through to and spent the spring at Mgd".
Commentary: The s² is a curved zig-zag. The w before the word ʿr{f} is written slightly above the ʿ and seems to be shallower. From some angles the letter after the third l looks like a w the next letter is indistinct and the following one might be a h or a y. There does not seem to be a letter between it and the m.
