Interpretation

Commentary
The rock is damaged after the n of the fifth name but there are probably two letters between the possible w and r. After the third r the inscription continues on the edge of the rock and then on to a second face. Parts of the ʾ, r, and q in the last part are damaged by hammer marks.
