Interpretation

Commentary
There are some lines before the beginning of the inscription and the first letter of the first name has been damaged by hammering. In the third name, the interpretation of the letter after the ḍ is difficult. It is most likely that the author intended to write ḍhdt and wrote a d and then realising that he had left out a h he added a fork to the letter to change it. He did not however rewrite the d which then needed to be added. There is a h, a b, a long line with a loop which might be a y, and a possible f after the third name which are difficult to explain.
