Transliteration
l ʿrbṣn bn ʿbṭ bn {s²}{h}{y}{t} {b}{n} {m}{k}{m}{d}
Translation
By ʿrbṣn son of ʿbṭ son of {S²hyt} son of {Mkmd}

Interpretation

Commentary
The very light line across the second letter is almost certainly natural. The fourth letter is clearly a b (cf. the b's in the bn's) so the third must be a r. The apparent central line across the tenth letter is a small rideg on the stone. After the second bn the rest of the text is invisible on the photograph.
