Lower register, main inscription:
“For a woman young in days, the important
and the strong(?), the late Hadil daughter of Reb Yehiel HaLevi. She died 13 Cheshvan 5675
A precious daughter, a pleasant soul,
perfect of way, good and compassionate.
He undid her childhood because of the bloodshed of her days – the Lord of souls in the high heavens
made her soul find proper rest.
May her soul be bound in the bond of everlasting life.”
