Interpretation

Commentary
The inscription is written on four faces. The last letter of the final name has a loop and it is possible that it is a d. However, a name ʾs²ld is unkown and the sequence rfʾt bn gml bn zdʾl bn ʾs²ll occurs in KRS 1543 and gml bn zdʾl bn ʾs²ll in KRS 1447. The last part of the inscription is very faint.
