Interpretation

Commentary
It is difficult to make sense of the end of the inscription and this is a very tentative reading. The m of rḥm looks like a z that has been erased, although perhaps it may be a roughly filled-in m shape. The author does not finish the typical curse formula, unless it continues in the area erased in much smaller letters. Josef Bloomfield
