Interpretation

Commentary
The inscription is written between the legs of a camel. The beginning and end have been hammered over and the other letters have been tampered with. The curve of the b has been closed by some hammering and the following n has been joined to the ḥ. It is possible that the following curve should be read as a b although it is perhaps more likely that it is two n's that have been joined together.
