נפטר ב מנחם אב שנת

תרסו

חבל על האבדה

יודעיו יבכו מרה

יאנחו אנחה כבדה

מתה נפש יקרה

לדל מממונו פזר

ומלחמו לכל ברה(?)

יראת ד לו לנזר

בזקנה ושבע ימים

נשמתו במרומים

מ חיים לוי בן המ

צבי אריה זל   תנצבה

English translation of epitaph: 

  

Here is buried

Passed away on 2 of Menahem Av

(5)666

Sorrow of loss

His acquaintances will sadly cry

Will heavily mourn

Passed away precious soul

He dispersed to poor

From his bread he gave to every need

The fear of God was his wreath

The old man was satiated from days

His soul ascended to Heaven

Mr. Haim Levi

Son of the late

Tzvi Arie of blessed memory

May his soul be bound in the bundle of life
