Here lies a beloved man, followed the righteous ways, worked
with trust and feared God, spoke with song and splendor, died …. surely he is
our teacher and rabbi Gavriel [Gabriel] son of our teacher
Dawid [David] Katz died on the eve of Av 5631 [29 Tamuz – 18 July 1871]
May his soul be bound in the bond of everlasting life
