Translation
By Kmn son of Gbl and he found the writing of his brother and he was secure

Interpretation

Commentary
It is possible the author left out the deity's name and that the common prayer f h divine name s¹lm should be restored. On the other hand, maybe the author felt that, on finding his brother's inscription, he knew he was nearby and no longer had anything to fear. His brother's inscription has not been identified.
