Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
WH: l ṯnyt bnt ḥr{m} ḥyḍt f h lt rwḥ w s¹lm "By Ṯnyt daughter of {Ḥrm} a menstruating woman and so O lt, [grant] relief and health"
Commentary
The author carved her patronym twice, once starting above the t of bnt (marked by <<>> in the transliteration) and the second time below the t. Unfortunately, the final word (not read by WH) is impossible to make out on the photographs.
