Other Notes:

[N3-4] Literally devoted to Jewish study that 'never left his mouth [lips]' – specifically the Midrash [a body of exegetical tests based primarily on the Jewish Bible] and the Mishnayot [sections which form the Mishna corpus, the first major work of rabbinic literature from which all subsequent works stem].
[N7] Rosh Chodesh [New Month, celebrating the 'new moon'], here 1st Nisan.
[N7] The year 5698 appears as תרח'ץ [600+8+90] rather than the usual hundreds/tens/units format תרצ'ח [600+90+8], because the latter spells the Hebrew word for 'murder' or 'kill'. תרצ'ח was therefore often avoided on gravestones that year, throughout the Jewish world, for fear of 'the evil eye' עין הרע.
[N9] Traiber is the quite-likely, correct surname transliteration.
