Interpretation

Commentary
wdl{n}: The final letter looks like it is joined to the previous letter by a curve at the top. This curve is probably damage or a natural shape in the stone. The name Wdln is unattested. The prayer seems to have continued on the face of the stone that has flaked off, with the final m being a preposition.
