Interpretation

Commentary
The line enclosing the loop of the second letter is not as deep as the rest of the text and it is possible the letter should be read as a ʾ. The letter following the second ʿ is covered by scratching. The rest of the doubtful letters are all partly obscured by an Arabic inscription.
