Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
WH: h-ẓlt for h-ẓrt.

The author seems to have begun the second name as ʾw and then realising his mistake have scraped over the letters and continued the text at right angles. H- ẓrt is very lightly scratched. There are what appear to be some stray markings on the face where the inscription ends.
