(1-5) He who wishes him mercy will find mercy just as he wished him mercy. The priest Tūmō son of Pawlōs of the family Bēt-Qāšā-Mattai died. He died in Latter Kōnūn (January), the 23rd day, the year 1883. His age was more than one hundred years without omission. (6-10) Go righteous Priest and corporal angel, go and enjoy a befitting blessing on the bosom of Abraham, where the righteous ones dwell; it is far from all difficulties, with no sigh found in it, but rather filled with all delightful things; it is a spiritual paradise and a very wonderful delight, being among the righteous souls of renowned and chosen priests. O distinguished priest of the church, preacher of the truth, interpreter of the hidden things, and eliminator of all vices: let the retinue of the house of Ananias, Aaron the Priest, and Zechariah take you to the house of the Lord—the place that is not made with hands.
