Interpretation

Commentary
The inscribing instrument seems to have slipped when the author was cutting the ʿ of the first ʿbd. The m of ms¹k is apparently covered by an abrasion and s¹-k are extremely close together. From s²rb onwards the letters are more lightly incised and more carelessly written. After ʾqʾm thereis a w followed by two illegible letters. An attempt seems to have been made to erase all three.
