Here lies buried
A Pure and Upright Man
[possibly “wise and understanding”] *
And God-fearing
Shimon the Son of
Hayiim Tzvi
Mipalyov (alternative rendering - from Palyov) who departed
on the thirteenth day
of the month of Elul in the year

* is translated here as the acronym - wise and understanding
