Interpretation

Commentary
The rock is scratched after the s¹ but there are traces of letters. There is a circular shape after the bn but it is inscribed in a different technique and is most likely extraneous. The multi-scratched cross after the r is not part of the inscription and with some abrasions probably covers another bn and the first letter of the third name which is probably a s¹. The sequence ms²ʿr bn {s¹]wd occurs in KRS 1492.
