Interpretation

Commentary
The author's name does not seem to have been attested before. The third letter must either be a l or a r with a very shallow curve. The following letter looks clearly like a ʿ, especially when compared to the size of the w. Nevertheless, a name of Ḥwlʿ or Ḥwrʿ would seem quite unusual, so the letter could possibly be a g. None of the possible names has been attested previously.
