Translation
By Qn {son of} S¹ʾlt son of Bḥrmh son of Ḥs²b and he pastured the herd of camels on spring herbage

Interpretation

Commentary
The author has written s¹ rather than b after the first name. The letter read as a r after rʿy h is a line with a hook and is facing in the opposite direction to the following letters. The author probably had to change the direction of the text because there was insufficient space.
