Rest the soul of Sarah, daughter of Pinhas, who died on the eleventh day, in the month of Adar II; year three of the sabbatical (cycle), the year, three hundred and sixty years of the destruction of the Temple. May she rest in her grave. Shalom.

תתניח נפשה דסארה ברת פינחס דמיתת בחדסר יומין בירח אדר תנאנה דשתה תלתיאה דשאבועה שנת תלת מה ושתין שנין לחרבן בית מקדשה תאנוח על שכבה שאלום
