l ḥy w wg[[m]] [[ʿ]]l- bnġr
Translation
By Ḥy and he grieved for Bnġr

Interpretation

Commentary
The author initially seems to have forgotten the m of wgm and carved ʿl after the g. He then inscribed the m around the ʿ and changed the l to an ʿ and squeezed another l into the text before the b of the name bnġr.
