עבדקוסזבדבעלקוסברך ברעבדאח

ʽBDQWSZBDBʽLKWSBRK son ofʽBDʼḤ

Lines 1 and 3 contain Edomite names: in particular, KWSBRK son of ʽBDʼḤ may point to inter-ethnic relationships, being another example of the cosmopolitan ethnic makeup of Maresha in the Hellenistic period. The name in line 2 is a combination of זבד and the theophoric element בעל. In line 4, the name is a combination of עבד and אח, "brother", which might also be a theophoric.
