Interpretation

Commentary
The beginning of the inscription is not visible in the photograph. The letters read as q and m on the left of the stone are scratched and concealed by another stone. The word bkrt starts at the top of the stone and is incised between to horizontal lines. The curse formula is partially concealed by damage on the stone, but seems to follow the expected formula.
