Interpretation

Commentary
There does not appear to be a n after the first b unless it is a short line attached to the curve of the b. There is a line across the line of the y which gives the letter the appearance of a ṣ. It is unclear whether it was intentional or not. Only a damaged line and part of a curve is visible after the r and the inscription might continue under some hammering or on another face of the rock.
