Translation
By Nbt son of {Ṣyḥy}

Interpretation

Commentary
The final letter is hammered much more crudely than the other y in the same name. The letter may also possible be a l or potentially a ṯ. The name ṣyḥ has been attested 40 times previously in OCIANA, but never previously with an additional letter at the end. It may be that this letter is unrelated to the inscription. Josef Bloomfield
