Translation
By Rfʾt son of Nʿmy son of {S¹ʿd}

Interpretation

Commentary
s¹ʿ{d}: The final letter is difficult to read in the photograph. It seems to resemble a long thin m or a double-lined ġ. A reading of s¹ʿm would be rare and s¹ʿġ is both very unlikely and unattested. A reading of d has been given as it seems to be the father and grandfather as in BES20 112, which is next to BES20 113. The authors of the two inscriptions were probably brothers.
