Commentary
There is a small extraneous mark above the middle stroke of the ḏ of ḏ ʾl, and the l looks like a very short stroke on the photographs. It is difficult to make sense of the end of the inscription.

Notes: Al-ʿĪsāwī is the name of a probably ancient well between two headlands on the eastern side of the Wādī Shām as it runs northwards from the modern Al-Namārah dam to the Ruḥbah. The well is large, stone lined and with stone water-channels running from it. The main concentration of published inscriptions is on the top of the northern headland, but there also many inscriptions on its south-west slopes, coming down to the well and on the southern headland, on the crest of which is a stone tower.
