Translation
By Bs¹ʾ son of ----m son of Gml

Interpretation

Commentary
There appears to be a b after the ʾ. The name bs¹ʾb is unattested and it seems likely that the b is dittography. It is possible that the first letter of the second name is an ʿ but it is difficult to be sure because there is a hammered line over it.
