Interpretation

Commentary
s¹{ʿ}{d}: The second letter is immediately next to the cartouche. It is not clear whether the shape crosses the cartouche, forming a larger g shape, or whether the marks inside the cartouche are damage. The third letter is more curved than one would expect from a d. {ḥ}{n}: The final name is abrased on the stone and the reading is uncertain. The first letter seems to resemble a ḥ with the open side facing downwards. The next letter seems to be a short diagonal line, probably a n. No letters are visible on the stone following the n.
