Interpretation

Commentary
The first name is covered by an abrasion and there is a recent drawing of a camel over the fourth bn, the fifth name and the following bn, and part of the first letter of the sixth name. After the deity's name the inscription is again damaged by the drawing of the camel and only a m, w, and n are legible.
