Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
HCH: s¹ʿdlh for s¹ʿdʾlh.
Commentary
There is only a copy of the inscription but there is a clear ʾ between the l and h of the second name. An alternative interpretation would be that either the inscription or the copy is incomplete and the end reads s¹ʿdʾl h. The name s¹ʿdʾlh is not in HIn. There is an apotropaic sign of seven lines on the same stone.
