Other Notes:

[N2] איש תם [a man flawless] deduced from the context.
[N4] The 'ב of this abbreviation probably stands for 'son of'. The 'ה'מ is an honorific.
[N6] 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.
