Transliteration
l hnʾ bn bs¹ʾ w wgd s¹f{r} ʾs²[y]ʿ -h f {s¹}dḏ
Translation
By Hnʾ son of Bs¹ʾ and he found the {inscription} of his friends f {s¹}d{ḏ}

Interpretation

Commentary
The arms of the r are uncertain. It seems likely that a y should be restored after the s² to read ʾs²[y]ʿ. The third letter from the end is indistinct it might be a s¹ or a ḥ in either case it is difficult to make sense of the last three letters. There is part of a cartouche surrounding this inscription and part of KRS 1834.
