Translation
By {ʿmt} son of {ʿmr}

Interpretation

Commentary
{ʿ}mt: The apparent ʿ does not seem to be an enclosed, but a very small curve. {ʿ}{m}r: The first letter of the name cannot be read with any clarity. Nevertheless, it must be a small letter, given the area it occupies. A reading of ʿ has been given.

Associated Drawings
Horse with rider. The horse's mane is represented with horizontal lines, as well as hair on the front of the animal's neck/chest. The rider is holding a long spear. The seems to be touching a simple line drawing of an animal. To the right of the horse, there is a line drawing of the head and neck of an equid. There is a rectangular shape with short lines radiating from it that covers the rider's body and the back of the horse. This is possibly a riding cloth, complete with tassels.
