Interpretation

Commentary
The inscription is damaged throughout and the second name is particularly obscured. The lām auctoris is not visible in the photograph, so has presumably broken away or it on the hidden stone face. zqd{m}: The fourth letter seems to a m, but could potentially be a b. The name zqdm has previously been found once before in Hismaic (KJA 99). ----ʾl: The letters of this name are thicker than the rest of the inscription and are obscured by abrasion. One can make out a series of four straight lines, but the damage is too significant to make sense of them Following fr, the final letter is partially obscured by the scale.
