By Nmr son of ʾs¹{k}---- {bny} and he built for {Gḥy}

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
NSR: l nmr bn ʾs¹km --- w bny ʿl gḥs². JaS 53: l nmr bn ʾs¹d bn rny w bny ʿl gḥs². H unp.: l nmr bn ʾs¹hm h bny w bny ʿl gḥs².
Commentary
If the third letter of the second name is a k it has a rather short vertical stroke. It is difficult to justify from the photograph the readings of any of the letters between the {k} and b of {b}ny. The final letter looks more like a y than a s².
