Translation
By Hḏr son of ʿb---- son of ʿbd son of ʾ----r{n} is {the} young she-camel

Interpretation

Commentary
The third letter of the second name is covered by hammering. The photograph is not good enough to be certain of the second letter of the fourth name and the n of this name is rather crudely hammered. The line of the h has been damaged by hammering. The penultimate letter has only a slight curve and a faint line coming off it.
