Interpretation

Commentary
The final name is unclear. The first letter is almost certainly a n, following bn. Above the n, there are two diagonal lines covered by damage that may be a s¹. Above the diagonal lines, there is a hammered shape that resembles a r. This shape appears rather like a region of damage, particularly given that is hammered rather than scratched like the rest of the inscriptions. Josef Bloomfield
