Interpretation

Commentary
The letters wḏkbb are written after the name and the words w ḏkr ḥbb are written to one side. It seems likely that the author made a mistake after the name and then decided to write the correct words running down next to it. It is possible the inscription continues after the name ḥdd but the rock is very damaged and nothing is legible.
