Other Notes:

[N3] The 'eve' of Rosh Hashana is not the 'evening' or first night of Rosh Hashana, Jewish New Year. It is the day before the holiday, 29th Elul.
[N3] The 3-letter abbreviation לפ'ק stands for לפרט קטן 'by the small count'. It often appears as a ligature, whereby these letters coalesce to form a single symbol. It confirms that the numeral 5 for 5000 is absent, it being obvious; a gravestone would have to predate the civil year 1239/40 for it to belong to the previous Jewish millennium.
