Interpretation

- The second name is uncertain. The first letter seems to be a straight line, but could possibly be a b or a r due to the elongated style. Whilst a reading of n has been given, the letter is longer than one would usually expect. There is damage to the left of the 'upper' leg of the s¹ that creates the illusion that the leg joins the 'lower' leg. The third letter also seems to be a straight line, but given the style, it seems likely that the letter is actually a r.
