Interpretation

Commentary
The reading of the first name is doubtful as part of the Arabic inscription is inscribed across it. If the first letter of the name is a w then one line of the circle is thicker and more deeply inscribed than the other parts of the letter. If the third letter is a d then part of the line of the loop is very shallow and the rest is under a line of the Arabic inscription.
