Translation
By ẖbṯ son of {ʿbd}

Interpretation

Commentary
ʿb{d}: The final letter could be a d, q, or l. The letter is wider in the middle than at the ends and seems to protrude further on the right side than on the left. One would cautiously argue that this is a d, but a reading of ʿbq or ʿbl would be possible.
