Note: we entered most of the names in the 600 fields in direct order (600 00, Hebrew 600 04) because we didn't always have last names or we were not able to read them. We were only occasionally able to read the witnesses' names.
Shiviti

| 650 | 0 | ‡a Prayer ‡x Judaism. | |
| 650 | 0 | ‡a Religious articles ‡z [place]. | |
