Interpretation

Commentary
s¹r{y}: The final letter is a straight line with a slightly thicker area at the bottom that has been read as a y. There seems to be a mark following the apparent y, on the edge of a ridge in the stone. This has been taken as either damage or accidental. {ʾ}{z}l: The first letter seems to be a ʾ, but could possibly be a ẖ. The following letter is difficult to read. Below the bottom left leg of the apparent ʾ there is a circular mark, but this seems to be damage or a natural shape in the stone, as it is lighter and thinner than the rest of the inscription. A reading of z has been given, discarding the circular mark.
