By S¹rdt son of Wfd{t}

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
WH: wfdt for wfd{t}
Commentary
The {t} overlaps with the lower part of the f. It might be the case that this was simply an error on the inscriber's part rather than a deliberate attempt to write a t.

Provenance
WH Cairn 7 and this inscription were rediscovered and photographed by the Badia Epigraphic Survey in 2018 and the co-ordinates given are exact.
