Translation
The carving is by Bns¹b and so Rḍy [inflict] ejection from the grave on him who scratches [it] out

Interpretation

Commentary
There is a w after the q and it seems likely that the author wrote it by mistake and did not cross it out. For the interpretation of nqʾt see Al-Jallad 2015: 335.
