הדא קבורתא דיודן ברהדרבי טרפון בירבי נוח נפש זכרונולברכה שלום

This is the grave/tomb of Iodan son of Rabbi Tarphon, Birabbi. May (his) soul rest! May his memory be a blessing! Peace.

One of the four Aramaic inscriptions found within the Jaffa necropolis (51, 53, 55 and 56). It has been suggested that the expression זכרונו לברכה may have not originally been part of the epithaph, being it in Hebrew and not in Aramaic.
