l ṣ{h}r bn s¹l[m] [b]n mrr bn mlk {h-} ḥyt w h- nqt w h yṯʿ ʿwr m ʿwr
Translation
By {Ṣhr} son of S¹lm son of Mrr son of Mlk are [the drawings of] {the} animals and the she-camel and O Yṯʿ blind whoever scratches out [the carving]

Interpretation

Commentary
The third letter has three prongs but one of them seems less definite than the others and the letter should probably be read as a h. The m of the second name and the following b are damaged by a chip. The prong of the h before the word ḥyt is rather faint.
