Translation
By Ms¹k son of Ys¹lm son of ʾwḏn and he found the trace of Ms¹----
Josef Bloomfield

Interpretation

Commentary
The author seems to have accidentally written a ṣ instead of a ḏ in the name ʾwḏn. The genealogy ms¹k bn ys¹lm bn ʾwḏn was previously attested in WH 173. The inscription seems to continue onto a face of the stone of which there are no photographs. Josef Bloomfield
