Interpretation

Commentary
It is possible that the last letter of the fifth name should be read as a ḥ. The letter at the end is damaged and it is possible that it is an ʾ, ṣ, or h. It is written on the edge of the rock and it seems likely that the inscription continues on another face which was not photographed.
