Interpretation

Commentary
The author wrote a b at the beginning of the third name and then corrected the mistake by writing an ʾ over it. After the connective it seems most likely that the h should be read as a vocative particle and that, to complete the invocation, it is necessary to assume that a deity's name was left out.
