מהר"ר אבא מרי בן הגאון מהר”ר אליה זצ"ל חלפן רופא
ח' אלול שמ"ו.
אבא אל מקדש אל.
מרי אזעק הוי אריאל.
כי נאסף אל אל.
הוגה תורת ישראל.
חכמת הקבלה כסף ויואל.
לדעת מה פעל אל.
רופא לתחלואי ישראל.
אחריו בכו בית ישראל.
יוכה לתחי' מלאך הגואל.

Translation:
Our Master Rabbi Abba Mari son of HaGaon
our Master Rabbi Elia Halfan Doctor of blessed memory
8th Elul 5346 (August 22, 1586).
I will enter the temple of God
I will cry out bitterly Woe, Ariel
because he was gathered to God.
The one who contemplated the Torah of Israel.
He longed for Kabbalah wisdom and succeeded
To know what God has done.
A doctor for the diseases of Israel.
The House of Israel mourned after him.
May he merit resurrection by the redeeming angel.
