Transliteration
l ʾs¹ w <<ḏ>> tẓr s¹t gwz
Translation
By ʾs¹ and he was on the look-out the year he married [?]

Interpretation

Commentary
The r is written back-to-front. The loop of the letter of the letter after the second s¹ is very small and it is possible the letter should be read as a n or perhaps it should be emended to s¹<n>t. gwz could mean "he married".
