Other Notes:

The epitaph appears to be inscribed on a white marble tablet set into a frame on the headstone.
At the top of the headstone and surrounding the epitaph, in addition to a pair of blessing hands (signifying a Kohen), other symbols include a crown, a pair of resting lions, crossed palm fronds, and a pair of columns.
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.
