Interpretation

Commentary
There is a cartouche which runs through the second bn and then the rest of the inscription is written outside. The letters of the last name have been joined together with lines at the top and bottom of them and it is difficult to know whether the two letters after the ḫ are l's or r's. There is then probably a b and some more letters which have been hammered over and are difficult to read.
