The first, second, fifth and sixth words are quite easily legible, but the third and fourth words are difficult to make out due to erosion, explained expert on ancient languages Reza Moradi Ghiasabadi. Moradi has deciphered the inscription from photos sent to him by the people living near the site of the relic. According to Moradi, the first word reads "aahe" or "ahe", which means "was" or "were". This word has frequently been observed in ancient Persian inscriptions. However, the other five words are new discoveries. The second word reads "sakosha" or "sakusha". "This word obviously denotes a particular name, which has so far never been seen in any ancient inscription, but it is similar to words used by the Scythians," Moradi said. Only two letters of the third word are legible and these read "hi". Again, only two letters of the fourth word are decipherable and these are pronounced "ka" and "aa". The fifth word reads "bahanam", for which no meaning has been found. The sixth word seems to be damaged but the end of it reads "kha". The inscription has been made both quickly and carelessly and its writer has not used the cuneiform comma as every word has been inscribed on a separate line... Moradi urged that the object should first be examined for authenticity. He cited some points which throw doubt on the genuineness of the inscription: careless and fast writing -- which is not commonly observed in previously discovered Achaemenid inscriptions -- slight layers of sediment on the edges and insides of the letters, multi-typography style of the inscription, unknown words and the use of strange motifs resembling the Sassanid kings' crown in an allegedly Achaemenid artifact.

That would explain their unknown nature... :’)
Here are the five new words that Persian scholars have posited:
‘All’ ‘bases’ ‘are’ ‘belong’ ‘us.’
Scholars are disputing what words are missing from the inscription.
I think it says, “Hi, am I logged in?”
“Error reading from remote server”
