Interpretation

Commentary
{b}ṣrh{b}: The reading of this name is not entirely convincing. The first letter seems to be a small half-circle, so is probably a b. The second letter is clearly a ṣ in the negative and enhanced photographs. The final letter is not clear. It looks very much like a b, but could potentially be a s¹. The letter does not appear to be the start of a lineage (bn...) as there are no letters visible after it. A name of Bṣrhb would be unattested.
