Siglum
WH 1863
Transliteration
l s²mt bn ʾhl bn grmʾl
Translation
By S²mt son of ʾhl son of Grmʾl

Interpretation

Commentary
The second name is definitely ʾhl (not ṣhl) on the original though a light scratch within one of the forks of the ʾ (not the one shown on WH's facsimile) could give the impression of a loop.
