Here lies
The old man Yakov [Jacob, Jakow] Tzvi [Tsvi,Zwi,Cwi]
Woe to his life, an honest and just man, benefited
the needy from his wealth, from a righteous ancestry, our teacher and rabbi
Yakov [Jacob, Jakow] Tzvi [Tsvi,Zwi,Cwi] son of our teacher
Binyamin [Benjamin] May his soul be bound in the bond of everlasting life
