Interpretation

Commentary
{b}{n}: Neither letter is very clear on the stone, but bn is the only possible reading. {s}yd: The first letter looks more like a y with an accidental horizontal line across it, but it must be a ṣ, as the author's name follows an alternating naming system between father and son that is seen in BES20 81 and 82. The author's father is on the same stone (BES20 81).
