Translation
By Ys¹mʿl son of {Wrd} son of {Ys¹mʿʾl} son of Dmg son of {ʾẓmy} son of S¹lm and he found the trace of his companions and so he wept and so {O} {Lt} [grant] security to he who remains [alive]

Interpretation

Commentary
The first letter of the patronym looks like a k. Following the same genealogy that is attested in AWS 109, it seems likely that the letter is actually a w. The letters in the section that seems to invoke Lt are very condensed and difficult to read. Josef Bloomfield
