{By} {Rḥmt} son of Bgnh son of {Bhlh}

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
WH: l ḥmt bn bgnh bn bhln for {l} {r}ḥmt bn bgnh bn bh{l}{h}
Commentary
There are two damaged letters before the ḥ. The first has a long horizontal "hook" like the penultimate letter, the second looks as though it has short hooks at each end and so could be a r.

Provenance
WH Cairn 47 and this inscription were rediscovered and photographed by the Badia Epigraphic Survey in 2018 and the co-ordinates given are exact.
