Epitaph text:
כז טבת
תרסה
שוד ושבר בחילו
מות עלה בגורלו
ונלכד בבור רגלו
איש נבון וזך שכלו
לצור תמים פעלו
בלא עת נפל חבלו
נפל פתאום לבורו
מ שמואל בן
המ מרדבי צבי
זל תנצבה
English translation of epitaph:
27 of Tevet

Robbery and destruction
Death was his fate
His leg was caught in a pit
Wise and clear-thinking man
Was a righteous man
Died prematurely
Suddenly fell into a well
Mr. Shmuel son of
the late Mordechai Tzvi
of blessed memory
May his soul be bound in the bundle of life
