(6-9) You dispersed the children including the refined Jirjis, and the sisters wipe over you with a tormented heart, for you have forsaken them, becoming a stranger for them. Christ the Lord separated you from us temporarily […]. B (1-3) [… …] (4-5) Those of the right side ascend [to heaven? and those of] the left shall remain stupefied. (6-9) He will give blessing and security to those of the right side and those of the left shall be in hell in the fire. In your mercy, O our Creator […]. C [This is the grave of the L]ate ‛Ōdīš son of ‛Abd al-Daqqāq. He departed on […].
