Interpretation

Commentary
Several of the letters in the text have been tampered with. The second letter is a large oval with a line across it. It seems likely, given that the w's of the text are smaller, that the letter should be emended to a g. The r's of the first name and the deity's name have been changed to m's. The n of bn has been altered to a h, the first n of the second name has been changed to ṣ, and the second has been changed to a t. The k of ḏkr and the b of ḥbb have been altered to ḥ's. There is a line joining the f to the following h.
