Inscription (1) placed during the conservation of the gravestone in 1987.

The inscription (2), restored during the restoration work after 1987, has been noted in several sources.

In Roger, Le Champ du repos, ou le Cimetière Mont-Louis, dit du Père Delachaise, published in Paris in 1816, the inscription is found on pages 223-224 (N 623, planche XI). It reads as follows:

"In hoc port, placide jacet JOHANNES KOMARZEWCKI, dus exercitûs republicae ac Regis Poloniœ obiit ia die februarii anno 1810. Quod de Rege ac patrià bene meritus iram pro- cerum sibi conciliavit. Ci gît JEAN KOMARZEWCKI, lieutenant-général de l'armée de la république et du Roi de Pologne, grand-cordon des ordres de Pologne et de St.- Alexandre de Russie, décédé à Paris le ier février 1810. Le Roi lui accorda une confiance sans bornes, la diette lui décerna une récompense publique, les grands le persécutèrent. Nota. Cette inscription est en lettres d'or sur une table en marbre ardoise".

In the Promenade aux cimetières de Paris, published in 1820, and also in its 1825 edition, there is a similar entry:

"J. Komarsvecki [s] général de l'armée de la république et du roi de Pologne décédé à Paris le 1er février 1810. Le roi lui accorda une confiance sans bornes; La Diète lui décerna une récompense publique; Les grands le persécutèrent".

In "Le Cimetière du Père Lachaise" by Jules Moiroux, published in Paris, a shortened version of the inscription is given: "[Le Roi lui accorda une confiance sans borne";

The signature of the stonemason who carried out the conservation was placed after the 1989 conservation.
