Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
LP: s¹lb for bdr; ġ(w) for {s²}q. JSafN p. 91 N. 157: ẓnb for s¹lb; ġq for ġ(w). RyLPAdd p. 350: possibly s¹yb or s²b for s¹lb and fq for ġ(w).
Commentary
It is possible the first name should be read as ẓdb; the second letter has the same shape as the b of the first bn but is written at 90° unlike any of the other letters of the text and the fourth letter is the same shape as the b of the first bn. There is a hammered circle above the first name.
