Translation
By S²ḥl son of Tm son of {Mfny} son of Nʿmn son of Whb son of S¹b and he was on the lookout for the Chaldaeans and so O Lh deliver [him] and send the winds and [inflict] ejection from the grave upon him who would efface this inscription

Interpretation

Commentary
mfn{y}: The top of the final letter is covered by damage. One can see a slightly curved long stem. There is a much thinner and more lightly scratched line between the n and the {y} of mfny.
