Died 3 of Teveth (5)673

Sorrow mourning of loss

In the clods of eath here in the grave

Will rest a perfect man

His sons will bitterly scream

The crown of our head fell down

The day when our father was taken

He left us to mourn

We will cry for the end of his life

With the innocent heart and in uprightness

Went for rest moreinu R.
