Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
HCH: ---- lht ḏ- ʾl fḍg w wgm ʿl- ---- bny hr ---- m ʿ----; suggests restoring the end as bny h- rgm ʿl- "built the cairn for ----".
Commentary
The stone is broken in several places and two pieces have been joined together but the rest is missing. The tops of the first two letters following the n are broken and the above is only one of the alternative ways in which they might be restored. There is sufficient room for another letter between the r and the m and there are traces of letters following the ʿ. There appear to be further letters in the middle of the stone as well.
