Transliteration
l fdʾl bn r{b}{ʾ}l<<>>
Translation
By Fdʾl son of {Rbʾl}

Interpretation

Commentary
The stone bears multiple inscriptions, but very few can be read. r{b}{ʾ}l<<>>: The second letter of the name seems to be a b that has been rotated 90°, which is different to the b of bn. The following letter seems to be a ʾ, but the bottom of the letter is not clear enough to be certain. At the end of the name, the author has written another rotated b. A name rbʾlb seems very unlikely. The reading provided assumes that this letter is redundant.
