Transliteration
l nġbr bn ʾṣlḥ w qrb brkt w ʾḫs¹f nʿm s¹nt bʿls¹my

Translation
By Nġbr son of ʾṣlḥ. He settled at Brkt and the soft tracts of Nʿm the year of Bʿls¹my

Apparatus Criticus
WH 2411: s¹nt bʿls¹my "the year he married S¹my" for s¹nt bʿls¹my "the year of Bʿls¹my".

Commentary
Although there is considerable variation in the forms of the b's in the texts the shape of r remains constant. Thus the verb must be qrb not qrr.
On brkt see See Macdonald 1992: 27–30.
For ʾḫs¹f compare Classical Arabic aḫāsīf (sg. ḫasfah) "soft tracts of land.
s¹nt bʿls¹my either refers to a special festival for the god, or to a year of particularly good rainfall.
