Transliteration
l ṣbḥl bn mlk w ṭʿm {r}ḍw kll nʿm w{l}ʿ bql
Translation
By Ṣbḥl son of Mlk and {Rḍw} feed all grazing animals {eager} for spring herbage

Interpretation

Commentary
The name ṣbḥl has so far been found nowhere else in Safaitic. The letter read as r resembles the b's of the text and it is possible it should be read as such although it would be difficult to suggest a translation. The letter read as the sixth l is rather shorter than other l's in the text.
