The central inscription begins from the Qur'an sura xxxvi yasin, parts of v.10 followed by "this is the tomb of the dehkhoda (head man of the village) of Harisi (?) Jamal al-Din Muhammad ibn Mahmud ibn Muhammad as-A...kan [who died] on Sunday 23rd Safar, the year six hundred and seventy-nine".

The margins are also from the Qur'an, sura xxxvi, yasin, vv.1-mid.v.3 and mid.v.8-mid.v.9.
