Transliteration
l ġnṯ bn {ʿ}wdʾ{l} bn lḏn

Translation
By Ġnṯ son of {ʿwdʾl} son of Lḏn
Josef Bloomfield

Interpretation

Commentary
The l of ʿwdʾl looks like a h or y. Nevertheless, a reading of l here is supported by the attestation of the genealogy twice previously (KRS 1692, 1694). There is a short vertical line above the b of the final bn, but this is clearly extraneous. Josef Bloomfield
