Interpretation

Commentary
At the beginning of the inscription, there is a thick rectangular mark that looks like a l. It has not been included in the reading as it seems to be too short to be a typical l and it is slightly outside of the cartouche. Including it as the lam auctoris would complicate the reading of the name. {l}: The letter read as a l is touching the letter immediately after it and is curved on one end. {s¹}dt: The letter read as s¹ is crescent-shaped with a line from the curve to the previous letter.
