By Ṯ---- {Mṣry} son of Ḥyn son of Wd son of ʿṭs¹ son of Frhz and he grieved for {ʾnʿm} and he spent the season of the later rains

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
NSR: l mṣry at the beginning; ʾnʿm w dṯʾ for ʾnʿ{m} [w] dṯʾ. H unp.: ʾn{ʿ}{m} [w] dṯʾ for ʾnʿm w dṯʾ.
Commentary
The reading of the l and ṯ is clear but there are then hammer marks which obscure the letters before the m. The fork of the ṣ is obscured by abrasions as are part of the m of ʾnʿm and the w before dṯʾ.
