Interpretation

Commentary
The inscription is very faint on the stone and cannot be read without enhanced photographs. The enhanced photographs are relatively clear but suggest two unattested names (ʾhḫmn and ngḫ). The former of these seems unlikely. The n of the bn after ʾhḫm{n} has a horizontal cross bar, making it appear like a t. Josef Bloomfield
