By Mṣrm son of Ġzlt son of Mrʾ son of Ẓnnʾl and he grieved for {Rgʾn} and may whoever erases this {inscription} be cast out of his grave

Interpretation

Commentary
Unlike the name and genealogy which are firmly incised, the narrative and the curse are lightly scratched and have been damaged by wear and tear of the surface. The last three letters are partially covered with mud. Note that no deity is invoked in the curse. If the reading of the name rgʾn is correct, it has not been found before.
