Translation
By {Mkmd} and he married ʾr{g}ḥ w m{h}b ʿ{g}s¹h

Interpretation

Commentary
The twelth letter has some hammering in the middle but it is probably incidental and not the crossbar of a w. There is a small abrasion after the ḥ but no letter is visible. The ʿ and second letter read as g run into the back of each other.
