Interpretation

Commentary
The inscription after the second name is covered by lichen. Between the third t and the m there is sufficient room for two names. After the m only traces of lines are visible before the following ḥ. The n and ʿ are slightly damaged. There might be further letters after the k at the end but the photograph is not good enough to check this.
