Translation
By Mḥlm son of ʿbʾdʾl son of Mḥlm son of S²dt son of Lʿṯmn and he pastured the camels [for] twenty-five years and so he became an old man and so {O} S²ʿhqm [grant] abundance

Language and Script
Safaitic

Interpretation

Commentary
There is a slight line across the fork of the letter before s²ʿhqm and it is possible it should be read as a y. The rock is slightly worn at the end and it seems likely that a t should be restored.
