By {Hnmʾl}

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
WH: l hnbr ʾd "By Hnbr [son of ] ʾd" or "To Hnbr [be] calamity!"
Commentary
What WH read as br is more probably a m. The circle on the last letter seems to have been superimposed on the straight line and may be extraneous. hence we read it as {l}

Provenance
WH Cairn 46 and this inscription were rediscovered and photographed by the Badia Epigraphic Survey in 2018 and the co-ordinates given are exact.
