Interpretation

Commentary
The l of Nl has a short horizontal line at the bottom, but it seems to be damage rather than the crossbar of a z. There is no vocative article before the deity name Rḍy. The first letter of the word read as rdt looks more like a b. At the end of the inscription there are a number of letters that are difficult to read due to abrasion on the stone and the quality of the photograph. These have been left untranslated.
