Transliteration
l ḍl {{b}}{{n}} {{l}}{{ʿ}}[b
Translation
By Ḍl {son of} {Lʿlb}

Interpretation

Commentary
The reading is doubtful because it seems that the shapes of some of the original letters have been altered by attempts at joining them. There is a slight extension to one line of the ḍ which joins it to the preceding l. The {b} of bn has been joined to the preceding l by two dots, making it look like a s¹, while the n has been joined to the following l giving the combination the appearance of a d. This l is then joined to the following ʿ.
