About Rabbi Avraham Yosef HaLevi, of Tiberias

(Segal is not a surname in this case; it is only an alternative to the epithet 'haLevi' (the Levite). He had no recorded surname; neither he nor his father are recorded using their ancestral surname, Horowitz. He was more often simply referred to (in writing) as Rabbi Avraham Yosef haLevi, and called Rebbe Alter - Alter is an auspicious nickname given for protective reasons.)

The wrong date of death (31 May 1876) appears in many sources due to a poor transcript of his Hebrew date of death from his original headstone.

About רבי אלתר אברהם יעקב יוסף סגל הלוי, מטבריה (עברית)

(במקרה הזה 'סג"ל' זה לא שם משפחה, רק תחליף ל'הלוי' - בכלל אין אזכור לשם משפחתו. אביו כבר לא השתמש בשם המשפחה המקורי, הורוויץ. בדרך כלל נזכר (בכתב) בשם 'הרב אברהם יוסף הלוי', ונקרא 'רבי אלטר'. 'אלטר' זה שם המשמש כסגולה.)

תאריך פטירה מוטעה מופיע בהרבה מקורות, הודות לתכתיב גרוע של הכיתוב על המצבה המקורית.
