By ʾs¹ son of ʾʿdg son of Ḫl son of Ḍhdt son of {kṯbt} son of Ḥmyn and he grieved for friend after friend after friend and he became feeble and so O Lt [grant] security to whoever remains

Interpretation

Commentary
The first letter of the fifth name is damaged. The sequence ḫl bn ḍhdt bn k{ṯ}bt bn ḥmyn occurs in KRS 1076 and 1085 and it seems likely that a k should be restored here.
