Translation
By Ngʾt son of Yʿly son of Bny {son of} S²ʿ son of Qmlt and he found the writing of Ms¹k and he wept and was overshadowed by grief and {he remembered} his brother {taken captive} the year of the struggle of ʾl Mʿṣ and he grieved for Rb and for Yʿly and for {----ḥ} and so he became depressed

Interpretation

Commentary
The fifth n is rather faint. The prongs of the ḏ are damaged by an abrasion and the photograph is not good enough to be certain of the reading of s¹by. There is sufficient room before the ḥ for one or two letters but the rock is worn and only traces of lines are visible.
