The inscription is written in MIN on the basis of the plural of bn (bhny) attested only in MIN. Also the preposition b- before frʿ (if the suggested integration in line 3 is correct) is typically MIN; in all other ASA languages we find bn frʿ.
1 [... ...S¹]ʿdʾl bhny [... ...] 2 [... ...] ḏt ṣḥftn [... ...] 3 [... ...]m w-b(lq)[m] b-(f)[rʿ ... ...] 4 [... ...] mbn(y)n [... ...]
Apparatus 2 at the end of the line RES reads a (b), and therefore integrates: b[n ʾs²rs¹ ʿs²rqn].
