Interpretation

Commentary
Most of the letters in the genealogy are joined by ligatures. The first name is very doubtful as it is difficult to distinguish between the lines of letters and the lines of the ligatures. The third letter from the end of the text might be ṣ although it is rather carelessly carved and then there appears to be a r and a b which are largely in shadow in the photograph.
