Transliteration
l s²ʿl bn ḥrf ʾ- ġlm[t]
Translation
By S²ʿl son of Ḥrf is [the drawing of] the {slave girl}

Interpretation

Commentary
Incised vertically immediately to the right of the woman's body. There is a line going through the second l but it is shallower than the other lines of the text and is probably incidental. The rock is damaged after the m but there is a short line visible and it seems likely that a t should be restored at the end. All four inscriptions on the rock claim the drawing.
