Translation
By Rṯʾl son of ʿgb son of ʾẓmy son of S¹lm and O ʾlt [grant] a change of circumstances

Interpretation

Commentary
ʿg{b}: The final letter is obscured by damage but it is very likely that it is a b. This genealogy has been attested in SIJ 851, which seems to have been written by the son of the author of BES20 206.
