l s¹ʿd bn mrʾ w wgd s¹fr ḫl -h f s¹qm
Translation
By S¹ʿd son of Mrʾ and he found the writing of his maternal uncle and so he was sick [with grief]

Interpretation

Commentary
The author has used f as the conjunction implying that the finding of his maternal uncle's writing has made the author sick. The sickness implied therefore is presumably an emotional one rather than some physical ailment.
