Translation
By Ḥny son of Mfny son of Rmzn son of Nʿmn and he pastured the {camels} ftqn{ṭ} and so Ds²r may he be secure ----

Interpretation

Commentary
There is a small circle before between rʿy and h-ʾbl which has been scratched over. One fork of the ʾ of ʾbl is doubtful and after tqn there are three vertical lines but it is difficult to see any horizontal line crossing them to form a ṭ. It is possible that the inscription continues on another face which was not photographed.
