Interpretation

Commentary
The stone bears multiple inscriptions, but very few can be read. lḥ{y}t: The l has the same flick on one end as the lām auctoris. The third letter of the name is only visible as a straight line, with one end entirely covered by damage. Given the relatively clear t next to it, it seems most likely that this is a y. The text seems to curve following the first name, but no letters are legible after bn.
