Commentary
Line 1. The verb ʾẓll  means "he performed the ẓll-ceremony", the exact nature of which we do not know. Usually, but not always, this verb is followed by the noun h-ẓll  meaning "the ẓll-ceremony". Thus, ʾẓll and ʾẓll h-ẓll both mean "he performed the ẓll-ceremony".

Line 3. The word rhḍ could be a sculptor's mistake for rḍ.
