Interpretation

Commentary
The author wrote a w after the first h and then scored over it realising that he had made a mistake. The penultimate letter of the fifth name is very worn and the middle line of the ḏ in the eighth is not visible. The cross-lines of the second ḍ in the ninth name are faint. The author wrote three w's after the word yʿwr, presumably by mistake.
