ZYBQ, ZYBQ', ZYBQM are the masculin versions of the feminin name ZYBQT.
The masulin versions are maily used in Gozo (Gaulus, GWL).
Perhaps ZYBQ is the same name as ZBG (Zabog).

Baali-ezbul

Punic:

t 'zrb'         fe of Azrubaa
l bn mqm   l son of Maqom

Krahmalkov (Phoenician-Punic Dictionar, Leuven 2000) on page 112 translates the name to Ba'ali-Ezbul (Ezbul is my lord).
There is no personal name Maqom. MQM means place, area,district, temple, raiser/rouser.
Maybe it is a mistake for Magon of MQN (Miqne-Milk).

'rm with his wife/spouse to H.awwat/H.awwit, their lady.

H.awwat is the goddess of death. The verb h.wy in contradiction means: living!
The biblical H.awwa stands for Eva, the first woman.
'rm seems to be a Libyan name, but 'rm mentions not even the name of his wife!!!

To the lady, to Tanit, face

Abibaal, daughter of Arisju, daughter
of Azimilk

Pedigree posssibility 1:
(grand) father Azimilk
                |
daughter Arisju (and mother of:)

daughter Abibaal

This time the feminin line in the pedigree is followed!

Pedigree possibility 2:
father Azimilk x mother Arisju
                         |
          daughter Abibaal

However, it is normal when in the inscription the father and mother are mentioned as a married couple and this is here not the case.
