Interpretation

Commentary
The inscription is very difficult to read as it is covered in part by abrasion and the author seems to have confused different letter shapes. The first bn, for example, is clear from context, but the b is the shape of a typical r. Later in the inscription, before the final name, the author seems to use a more typical b. The reading here is presented very tentatively. Josef Bloomfield
