Interpretation

Commentary
The author seems to have made one or two mistakes when writing his father's name. The name begins with a ġ, which has possibly been erased. The next letter is a second ġ. Following the ġ, there is a letter that looks like a ẓ, but must be a s¹. Again, it is possible that the s¹ has been erased by the author. A ʾḥrb son of Ġs¹m son of ʾḥrb is known from BES20 2190.
