Transliteration
l {d}ll {b}{n} ḥy bn qdm bn ṣrmt w wgm ʿl- ḥb[b] {f} ḥbb
Translation
By {Dll} {son of} Ḥy son of Qdm son of Ṣrmt and he grieved for one {friend} after another

Interpretation

Commentary
The loop of the first d is doubtful and the first bn is obscured by an encrustation. The final b of the first ḥbb and the following f are largely covered by letters in KRS 696.
