Translation
By S²ḥl son of Ġs¹m son of ʾḥrb son of Ms¹k son of Ẓʿn son of S²rb and he found the inscription of {Ḥml----}

Interpretation

Commentary
The end of the inscription was underground when it was found and the letters are rather faint. It is likely that the name ḥmlt should be restored after the word s¹fr. The author of KRS 1971 says he found the writing of Ḥmlt and 1975 is by Ḥmlt which might be the inscription which is mentioned.
