By Hmlk son of Nhḍ and deliver [him] Rḍw from ḫr----

Interpretation
- Commentary
- The meaning of the prayer is unclear. It seems very unlikely that the author was asking for deliverance from ẖr, i.e. "wellness". It is probable that there one or two letters are covered by damage to the stone after the r of ḫr.
