Interpretation

Commentary
There is another short line after the n of bn, but this seems to be extraneous. The third letter of the patronym looks like a lightly scratched m, due to the double lines, nevertheless a reading of r seems more likely. The final letter looks like a h or ḫ, but in the context of a number of other inscriptions with the name ṭḥrt on the same stone, is probably a t. Josef Bloomfield
