Reconstruction (performed by V. Valevsky)
Anki Tabnit kohan, Ashtarot malek sidonim,
ben Ashmunazar kohan, Ashtarot malek sidonim,
shkob be aron ze mi at kol adam,
ash tapeq ait hi aron ze.
Lo al at petah alti we al targozani,
ki ai adlani kesep ai adlani hares
we kol monma mashod bilat.
Anki shkob be aron ze lo al at petah alti
we al targozani ki tabet Ashtarot ha daber hu,
we am petah at petah alti we ragoz targozani,
al i kan lek zraa be him tahet shemesh
we mushkob at ropaim!

Translation (I.Sh. Shifman)
I, Tabnit, priest of Astarte, king of the Sidonians, son of Eshmunazar, priest of Astarte, king of the Sidonians, rest in this sarcophagus. Whoever you are, any person who will carry this sarcophagus, don’t open, don’t open above me and don’t bother me, for there is no silver with me, no gold with me and no matter what ... Only I rest in the sarcophagus of this. Do not open, do not open above me, and do not disturb me, for the insult of Astarte is an act. And if the opening opens over me and bothers me with anxiety, then let there be no seed among you living under the sun and a place of tranquility along with the inhabitants of the underworld.

Translation (poetic translation by V. Valevski)
I am Tabnit, priest of Astarte and king of the Sidonians,
Ashmunazar son, priest and king!
Resting in a coffin. Whatever your dignity is,
Do not open a coffin chest over me!
Don't bother me blowing my coffin!
There is no gold or silver with me here!
Do not open, for in malice from malice
You are offending Astarte for a bonfire!
In this deathbed I rest alone.
If you open and rebel my peace,
Does not recognize offspring under the sun your house
And restless soul to be between the heavenly valleys!
