Interpretation

Commentary
There are two lines and traces of a small curve at the beginning of the text. There is a horixonatyal line at the top of the lām auctoris which, however, is different from the other lines in the inscription. The y of rʿy has a fork at the top as if it is serving as both a y and a h. The following word seems to read ʾbg or ʾbm. The second line of the text is very uncertain.
