<<>>l s²ʿṯm bn [ʾ][b]gr bn ʿm w wgm ʿl- ʾnʿm w ʿl- ḫṭs¹t w ʿl- ʾḫt -h ʿl- tmlk
Translation
By S²ʿṯm son of ʾbgr son of ʿm and he grieved for ʾnʿm and for Ḫṭs¹t and for his sister for Tmlk

Interpretation

Commentary
There is a l and s² on the left of the drawing which is presumably a false start at KRS 2318. Part of the first letter and all of the second letter of the second name are damaged by a chip on the rock. It seems likely that ʾ and b should be restored. The sequence s²ʿṯm bn ʾbgr bn ʿm occurs in KRS 1065. The t of the name ḫṭs¹t has been left out and added above the s¹ and the following w.
