Interpretation

Commentary
The author wrote a ḫ at the beginning of the third name presumably because he forgot he had already written the name ḫr. He then scratched out half of the letter leaving a V shape with a vertical stance which he appears to have used as a s¹ at the beginning of the name. The m of s²ʿhqm has been decorated with lines. The two letters after the second w are partially covered by lichen. The first might be a s¹, g, or w and the second might be a ṯ, ṣ, or y. The loop of the second d is damaged and rather doubtful. The author has omitted the w in yʿ[w]r. It is difficult to make sense of the end of the inscription
