Inscribed in irregularly sized letters in four uneven lines in the lower part of the slab; the first two lines are separated from the other two by a horizontal line. Mu appears in a Latinised form {{c||M6|d}} as in [[NO·27]]. Of initial upsilon in the second line, only the angle at the bottom of the line is left due to a break.

{{bib|Gambari 2007}}: 258 f. opts to segment the text into two compound names, each taking up two lines. He interprets the second name as the individual name of the (putative) deceased (''leukuru-ritu''), and the first name as a patronym in {{m||-al-}} (''akluśamou-alos''). This analysis has the advantage of providing a patronym for the expected two-part onomastic formula, even if it is irregularly situated in front of the individual name. However, Gambari's segmentation of {{w||akluśamoualos}} does not explain the use of san instead of sigma and leaves an irregular base (see the word page). We prefer to interpret the sequence as a compound individual name ''akluśamo-u̯alos'', separated at a morpheme border. Similarly, the second compound name can be interpreted in a way that puts the morpheme border at the line break: ''leukur-u̯ritu''. See [[Onomastics]] for a discussion of name groups which (appear to) lack a patronym.

If our analysis of {{w||akluśamoualos}} is correct, san denotes the cluster /ts/ in this inscription – see [[Ś]] for details.

The function of the inscription is unclear; in the absence of datives an interpretation as a funerary inscription is uncertain. {{bib|Gambari 2011}}: 27 f. assumes that the stone was a boundary marker.
