Interpretation

Commentary
It appears that many of the letters have been altered. The fork of the h has been infilled to form a y and one fork of the ʾ has been changed into a loop to form a ṣ. The arms of the first b have been joined ny a crudely scratched line and following n has been extended and a loop added in the middle to form a d. A crossbar has been added to the ʿ and a short line drawn across the fork of the ṣ to form a ṯ. The end of the inscription may be under the wasm or the drawing.
