9 lines in the Armenian original incised into a white marble tombstone (140 x 24 x 58 centimetres):
You, that are a passer-by, stop for a moment and listen to my sorrowful story. The bitter pain tore me away from my parents, my precious children and my husband Mesrop. Oh, please, do not forget your poor Dshkho! The other face reads: Adieu to everybody! I am departing from this world, consigning my sucklings to others’ care. I am unforgettable Dshkho, the wife of Mesrop Giliants. Please, remember me in your prayers. Born on 1 October 1871, I died on 25 January 1899.
