Other Notes:

[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.
[N8] Galles [similar Gelles is common], but difficult to be sure because of the similar letters נ/ג and ם/ס.
