Inscription on Salomon and Rebecka Alexander's Grave

Salomon and Rebecka (b. Pinner) Alexander are buried at the Leipzig Jewish ("old") Cemetery, on Berliner Strasse 123 (about a twenty minute walk from the HauptBanhof). Their grave is located at the 3rd row of the fourth section.

Their tombstone has the following inscription, where I transliterate the Hebrew 

                         p"n
