"Here lies the beloved man, faithful to himself (?) and to his people. It is he R. Jakob son of R. Pesach Kagan who was plucked up in the bloodshed of his days. In the 37th year in the days of his life. On Wednesday 19 days to the month of Elul 5680. May his soul be bound in the bond of everlasting life."
