Commentary
One prong of the second ʾ is doubtful. The end of the second name is difficult to interpret. There is a dot near the tail of the y which is read as a n by TNSSMAS and then there is a curve which does not seem to closed in the photograph with a dot inside it. TNSSMAS reads the letter as a circle with a dot and transliterates it as a g. It is more likely it be read as a b and a n.
