Translation
By Rbʿ son of Bqr son of {Rfʾt} son of S²qr son of Rfʾt son of Gml and O {Yṯʿ} blind whoever scratches out [the writing]

Interpretation

Commentary
The ends of the line of the first f have been joined with a curve which gives the letter the appearance of a m. The name s²qr was presumably left out originally and was then inscribed in between the lines of the first names and final names of the text. No bn was added before it. The ʿ of yṯʿ is much larger than that of ʿwr, and does not seem to be a complete circle. But is difficult to see what else can have been intended to be.
