The first glyph is buried but must be a l. The ḥ is unusually compact with very short arms, but it can hardly be read as anything else. The name dḥ is well attested. The n in the fourth bn appears unusually elongated, making its reading uncertain and potentially intended to be a different letter such as a malformed s¹. However, a reading of the inscription with bs¹ interrupts the genealogical formula and does not yield any attested vocabulary.
