Interpretation

Commentary
The first letter of the third name has a slight tail which is probably an incidental stroke made when inscribing. There is part of another letter after the sixth n and then the rock is broken and the inscription continues on another line with a s². There are some scratched lines after the z and it seems likely that the author made a mistake and then erased it. The sign read as r at the end is rather long and thinner than the other letters of the text and it is possible that it is extraneous.
