דכיר לטב ראובן הליוי ובני ביתה אמן

Dimensions above are estimates of the entire panel containing the inscription. The inscription itself is preserved for about 1.03 m. The beginning is destroyed, but probably starts with the formulaic opening blessing. It has enough room for the blessing, the name of the donor, and the word bar, of which nothing has been preserved. Reuven is most likely the name of the donor's father. The formula mentioning the contribution of the donor's family members suggests that it is referring to his entire household and not just his sons.
