l mʿn bn ḫld {w}---- h lt rwḥ
Translation
By Mʿn son of Ḫld {and}---- O Lt [grant] relief from adversity and uncertainty

Interpretation

Commentary
There is an extraneous line going through the l of the second name. It is possible that part of what has been read as the back of the d is extraneous and the letter should be read as a y. There are abrasions over the middle part of the text and part of the first w is covered. There is a circle after the w and then a gap with no traces of letters visible. There is a line, and a curve filled with lines near the inscription.
