This inscription is possibly by a woman. I have assumed a writing error, where the author mistakenly wrote his father's name twice. However, if we assume no error, then we are left with two choices. Either we read the second word as bn, producing the unattested name, tbnt. Or we read the three letters following the name fdy as the substantive bnt 'daughter,' followed by the father's name bnt.
