JaS: zʿnm for zʿ( )m.
Commentary
The fourth letter from the end has a very short vertical stroke and resembles a Thamudic E ẓ. The copy has a dot between the second ʿ and the m but the name read by JaS is unlikely. It is possible that the text continues after the break and the name should be read zʿn and the m taken as the first letter of the following word. It is perhaps most likely however that the dot is the copyist's error or extraneous to the reading of the text which is what has been suggested here.
