Translation
By S²mt son of Hs¹ {son of} {Bnnġl}

Interpretation

Commentary
The arms of the second b are filled in and the following n is a dot. It is possible that ḥ should be read instead of the two letters. The next b and n are joined together in such a way that they have the appearance of a ẓ. The ġ is rather long compared to other letters of the text.
