Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
NSR: nmr for nm{s¹}; ʾnfq for ʾ----{s²}{t}; wḥs² for wḥf. H unp.: ʾns²{t} for ʾnfq ?; wḥs² or wḥf for wḥs² and ʾ{k}m for ʾkm.
Commentary
The last letter of the third name is damaged by a chip. It is more likely to be a s¹ than r as the arms of the letter which are visible are quite close together. There are traces of a letter after the ʾ of the sixth letter but it is unclear what it might have been.
