Interpretation

Commentary
The first two letters have been joined by hammer marks. Scratched lines have been added to the third and fourth letters giving them the appearance of an ʾ and m respectively. The forks of the ʾ have been joined with hammer marks changing it to a ṯ. It is possible that what has been read as a r and a ḥ at the end are a continuation of the cartouche and part of the sign respectively.
