Transliteration: l s²ʿ{{ʾ}}l bn {{ḥ}}{{b}}n bn yqn{{ʾ}}l bn w{{ḥ}}fy bn {b}grt w
Translation: By S²ʿʾl son of Ḥbn son of Yqnʾl son of Wḥfy son of {B}grt w

Interpretation

Commentary: The forks of the ʾ's have been closed to give the letters the appearance of ṯ's. The arms of the second b have been closed with a line and the arms of the third b have been joined to the following n. The arms of both the ḥ's have been closed to form a w. The first letter of the last name looks more like a r but the name would be difficult to explain if it was read as a r, and the g has a line going halfway across the circle. The inscription probably continues after the w at the end but the letters have been scratched over and nothing is legible in the photograph.
