Translation
By Ẓnʾl son of Ḫlṣ and he pastured the ----rṣh{ʿ}{b}t and so {O} {Lt} [grant] security

Interpretation

Commentary
The letters after the w are very faint. The field copy has a ḍ after the h and it is possible the word ḍʾn "sheep" should be restored. The letters before the invocation are partly damaged and partly covered by lichen as are the letters h, l, and t. It is difficult to make sense of what remains of the middle of the text.
