The Hebrew inscription reads: "In the name of God, we shall do and prosper, He who rewards those who obligate themselves to good deeds, this entrance... and Solomon ha-Levi ben Tovia." The name of the first donor was removed. Solomon's father Tovia was an official of both the Palestinian yeshiva and the Palestinian Synagogue and was mentioned in a document of 1057.
