Translation
By Hʾbt [son of] S¹wdl [son of] Gh [son of] Bny [son of] Mdn [son of] Nʿm he took vengeance on those who accused {him}

Interpretation

Commentary
The inscription has been scratched over. The author appears to have left out bn between all the names in his genealogy. The letter after the first d is rather long and it is possible that it should be read as a l. The name s¹wdl has been found in WH 3851, and s¹wdlh in JSJ 5.
