Interpretation

Commentary
It seems most likely that the first letter of the third name is a n and that the line across the top is extraneous. Only one zig-zag of the f is visible. The inscription is incised until the l of ʾs¹lm and after that the letters are scratched. There is a cartouche surrounding the text and a rayed circle inscribed at the end.
