[Remembered be for good] ... and his sons. Amen.

ובני אמן

Inscriptions were placed in the square panels appearing at the junctions between the circles that comprise the mosaic carpet in the northern aisle. The pattern suggests that there were originally thirteen dedicatory inscriptions in all. Of this inscription, only the ends of the words in the last two lines remain. The size and placement of the remnants suggest that the inscription was originally four lines long, opening with the standard preamble "Remembered be for good" followed by the name of the donor. The sons are then mentioned without being named.
