Translations:

1[... ...] son of Yṯʿkrb, dedicated [... ...]
2[... ...] under the obligation (the god) has released for B[... ...]
3[... ...] and may be under the goodwill of ʾrnydʿ [... ...]
4[... ...] and his faculties [... ...].

Translation Notes:

3-4While the first occurrence of the noun ʾḏn refers to the divine faculties (power, goodwill) of ʾrnydʿ, the second occurrence most probably refers to the faculties (capabilities) of the author, which he wishes to place under the authority of the god (Rossi 2022: 145).
