Interpretation

Commentary
The inscription seems to start in the damaged area at the top of the stone, where one can only read a ḍ and a ḥ. s¹ḫr: The ẖ is much larger than the other letters of the inscription. Following the w at the end of the inscription, one can read a letter than could be a s¹, ḥ, or a m. The rest of the inscription is probably on the other side of the stone.
