''Tested
Abtlg. (abteilung) stab (staff)
III./A. R.10''

I wonder, wouldnt this be the 10th regiment of the third artillery?

Actually, "inspected" would be a more accurate translation than "tested".

No. It's the 3rd Detachment of Artillery Regiment 10.

(Artillery units used the term Abteilung [detachment] instead of Bataillon [battalion].)

Battalions/detachments and corps were numbered in Roman numerals, companies/batteries and regiments were numbered in Arabic numerals.

Unit numbers before and after a "/" were always written in ascending order of unit levels.

For data on the regiment, see:
Artillerie-Regiment 10 - Lexikon der Wehrmacht
