"A tombstone of a young woman, modest and important, the married Miriam daughter of our teacher Mordechai of blessed memory. [unique acrostic poem in center panel] She died on the Holy Sabbath, the 11th day to the month of Menahem Av, year 5637 as the abbreviated era. May her soul be bound in the bond of everlasting life."
