Read by Claude Opus 5 (own eyes, project OCR_SYSTEM_PROMPT, no Gemini) | legibility=good confidence=high needs_expert_review=True | obstacles: white marble ledger, letters cut and blacked in, shot at a steep angle so the text runs diagonally and the right-hand ends of the eulogy lines leave the frame; the name, date and age all read cleanly; the day and the year are carved as ARABIC NUMERALS beside a Hebrew month: 13 תמוז 5714, and the age | Source: darkroom_batch_read_2026_08_09_taroudant | Photo: TRD_SEBAT_p1200831-web.jpg [Adjudication 09/08/2026, second independent reading of the same photograph] CIVIL DATE ADDED. The record already held the full Hebrew date read from the stone but no civil date at all, so it sat outside every date search and off the timeline. the day and year are carved in ARABIC numerals, 13 תמוז 5714, so 13 Tamuz 5714 = 14/07/1954 with no gematria to misread. The age 53 already on the record is from the same stone. Converted with app/helpers/hebrew_date_utils.hebrew_date_to_gregorian and cross-checked against Georges Sebat's index card for the same photograph, which agrees.
