Translation
By {Wʿr} son of {N}----s¹ son of ʿmrt son of Ḫr----

Interpretation

Commentary
A cross has been scratched over the w and a line across the ʿ; the n of the first bn has been joined by two lines to the following letter which is probably also a n; the next letter is partly covered by hammering and only a short line is visible; there are some miscellaneous lines after the next bn and there is a line through the ʿ in the following name; the arms of the next two r's have been joined to the back of the letter by diagonal lines and the arms of the next two t's are joined together. There is hammering after the final r and no more letters are legible. The names nks¹ bn ʿmrt bn ḫrg occur in KRS 1829 and 1830 and it is possible that nks¹ and ḫrg should be restored here for the second and fourth names respectively.
