Interpretation

Commentary
There are scratches over the inscription but the letters seem fairly clear however it is difficult to make sense of the letters as they stand. Bd is attested as a name and so is Bdn, and it is possible that the author either left out a b and the inscription should be read l bd [b]n bd or left out b and n in which case the inscription should be read l bdn [b][n] bd.
