Siglum

Transliteration
l {{ʾ}}lh bn h{ḥ}
Translation
By ʾlh son of H{ḥ}

Interpretation

Commentary
Curves have been added to the forks of the ʾ to form a ṯ. The n after the l in the firm name looks deliberate, even though this produces a strange name. The ḥ is doubtful as the middle line does not protrude from the centre. No further traces of letters are visible after the ḥ and it is possible the inscription is unfinished.
