   2  [... ... ]ys²ft ḏt Ḥmy[m ... ...]

Apparatus
The fragment shows a quite unsual formulary compared to that of the inscriptions dedicated to ḏt Ḥmym. It seems that there are here two verbs at the prefix form: the former having the goddess as subject, the latter having the author of the text as subject.
