Interpretation

Commentary
ʿqrb: There seems to be a short vertical line following the r, nevertheless this seems to be the lower hook of the r. The hook is longer than one would typically expect. The end of the inscription cannot be read from the photographs. Following the w, there seems to be a long thin letter consisting of two curved lines, resembling a ġ. The next legible letter is in the top left of the stone, which seems to be an s¹, followed by a possible q.
