Epitaph English:

here is buried
on the first day of Sukkot [5]673
I weep for this, my eyes, my eyes
fill with water and my eyelids pour
into a stream of tears for the death of a woman
pure, perfect in her virtues
and good in her deeds, she opened her hands
to the poor and was taught in the commandments
assemblies, traditions, young in years
Yütte, daughter of Pinchas ha-Levi
may her soul be bound in the bond of (eternal) life

Other Notes:

Where names or other data are derived from records and not from the headstone itself, a double dagger (‡) symbol is appended to indicate the separate origin of the information.
The name Yütte, derived from Judith, exists in other variants including Jutta, Jutte, Jüte, Yüte, Jotia, Jite, Ita, etc.
The death date "first day of Sukkot" refers to 15 Tishrei.
This stone likely belongs to Yütte, wife of Moses Weissbrun, reported as died on 25 September 1912 at age 30 in Rohatyn, with her death confirmed by examination the next day (the 26th) by Dr. Terlecki, and her burial in Rohatyn two days after her death (the 27th). AGAD record 300/0/3689 volume IV, sheet 187 line 67.
The same woman, Yüte, wife of Moses Weissbrun of Rohatyn, and daughter of Pinkas and Reiza Baum from the village Podhorodyszcze near Bóbrka north of Rohatyn, is also reported as giving birth to a boy named Nachman Yakób on 10 July 1909 in Rohatyn. AGAD record 300/0/2917 volume IV, sheet 146 line 122.
The headstone image seen here is an excerpt from what is believed to be a prewar photograph of Rohatyn’s old Jewish cemetery, from a collection created by Tomasz Wiśniewski, used here by permission granted to Rohatyn Jewish Heritage. All of the stones in these photographs were stolen from the old cemetery for use in road construction during the German occupation of Rohatyn in WWII; to date none have been recovered, and all remain missing.
