l nʿmn bn tm bn mty bn mkbl h- gml w rmll
Translation
By Nʿmn son of Tm son of Mty son of Mkbl is [the drawing of] the male camel and rmll

Interpretation

Commentary
The letters w rmll are carved below the g of gml which is strange since, if they were a continuation of the text, there was sufficient room for them to be carved after and above the end of the word gml. It is difficult to know how to interpret them.
