- Tombstone inscription translated from Hebrew by Prof David Kaufmann published in The Historical Associations of the Ancient Burial Ground of the Sephardi Jews 1923 (Jstor.org):
The stone is witness, as also the heap
To the honoured man who is buried here
The good qualities which he made his own
Will speak for him before the Most High.
An open house he kept by the way,
For he was generous to the needy and the poor.
His doings and his dealing with men were truth,
Truth was familiar in his mouth, his words ever pure.
Abraham Hhizqiah Carvajal,
His memory is honoured, blessed with children.
On Heshvan 26th. He was mown down
In a ripe age, for his years were full.
In the year 420 his eyes were dim,
But the eye of his soul rejoiced to see realms of bliss.
- From the 1930 Survey:
to . . . M. Hisquiahu Carvajal, table-tomb, restored and partly modern with modern inscription to "Antonio Ferdinando Carvajal (otherwise known as Abraham Israel Carvajal) 28th Oct. 1659"
[Note: 28 Oct 1659 = 11 Cheshvan 5420, the earlier translation from Hebrew gives 26 Heshvan 420 (5420) = November 12, 1659]
- Samuel Pepys to Edward Montague 3 Dec 1659, Being this morning (for observation sake) at the Jewish Synagogue in London I heard many lamentations made by Portugal Jews for ye death of Ferdinando ye Merchant, who was lately cut (by the same hand as myself) of ye Stone.
[The Letters of Samuel Pepys, 1656-1703]
