Translation
By {Kṯbt} son of Flw

Interpretation

Commentary
The loops of the ṯ are dots that have been hammered unlike the rest of the letters which are scratched and incised and it is possible they were added later and the letter was originally a l. If that is the case, the name should be read as klbt.
