Commentary
Both names are Jewish theophoric names. For the first see Ilan 2002: 202. The second does not seem to have been found elsewhere but would be a similar formation with -yh, and Jaussen & Savignac (1909–1922: 462) suggest it is derived from *ʾwš, cf. the name yōʾāš in e.g. I Kings 22: 26, II Kings 11: 2, etc. see Koehler & Baumgartner 1994–2000: 398.

There is the drawing of a hand below the graffito.
