Other Notes:

[N2] The phrase 'full of days' ─ i.e. contented/satisfied.
[N2/N3] The last word on each of these lines is deduced from the faint outline of some of the letters under high resolution; they also form part of typical gravestone phrases. Line 3, more difficult to decipher, is also deduced by way of a probable rhyme with line 2 [an -im sound]. Authors of epitaphs often employ such rhymes.
[N4] What appears to be the name Tzvi is probably preceded by the honorific 'ר for Reb. Tzvi is placed right of center, probably indicating another given name to its left.
[N5] This line probably indicated his father's name followed by what appears to be 'the Cohen' – as might be anticipated, confirmed by the presence of the 'priestly hands' motif.
