Commentary
The text has been very thoroughly obscured by ligatures and hammering and only the first and the last two letters are certain What may be the ʿ of the first name can be seen between the ṯ and the b, though this may simply be a ligature. It seems that the two arms of the b have been joined and a line hammered between it and the following n. There seems to be another area of hammering between the n and the f. The latter could also be a s².
