Translation
By ʾnʿm son of {Gnʾl} ẖ----b

Interpretation

Commentary
{g}{n}{ʾ}{l}: A strip of damage runs horizontally along the edge of the apparent g, but the letter can be read in the enhanced photograph. A n is visible below the damage. The following letter could be ʾ, h, or ṣ. Upon close inspection of the enhanced photograph, the left-hand side of the letter seems to have a faint fork, which would support the reading as ʾ. ẖ----{b}: The latter half of the inscription is impossible to read.
