חנניה בן רבי ם שמן אלכסנדריה שלום

...Hananiah...son of Rabbi...coming from Alexandria? Peace.

Line 1: Hananiah is probably the name of the person buried here. Line 2: Missing letters on the right may have formed the patronymic. Line 3: The first visible letter could be a samech or a mem. Line 5: שלום is carved in the center, so because there is space to its left, it can be presumed that equal space existed on the right. From this information, it can be concluded that 4-5 letters are missing on the right of each preceding line.
