l s¹lm bn hms¹k {{h-}}{{ʾ}}ḫḏt
Translation
S¹¹lm son of Hms¹k was at this pool of water

Interpretation

Commentary
One prong of the fourth letter from the end is doubtful. It seems that both this letter and the fifth letter from the end have been altered from ʾ and h respectively to ṣ's. In the former case a line has been added across one prong and in the latter case a loop has been added at one end.
