Interpretation

Commentary
The lām auctoris cannot be seen in the photograph and is presumably covered by damage. The first name is difficult to read. The first letter seems to be a ḥ. The following letter looks like a drawing of a sun. One would suggest that this is a g to which the author or somebody else has added rays for decoration. The following letter is very uncertain. One can see two lines that seem to meet at a point at the top. This makes the letter resemble a s¹. Upon close inspection of an enhanced photograph, there is a very faint horizontal line from the bottom of the left-hand line to near the bottom of the right-hand line. This could possibly read as a g.
