I would be very grateful for a translation of this tombstone, from the Jewish cemetery in Trzcianne (Trestiny).

The best I can make out:

Here lies
a man of integrity
Mordechai son of Ari ....
Died 8 Kislev 5633
May his soul be bound up in the bond of everlasting life.

There is a second given name after Ari but it is too eroded to read.

"here is buried
a man simple
and honest our teacher mordekhai
son of our teacher ari [leib?]
died [8?] kislev
of the year 5633
may his soul be bound up in the bond of life"

notes:

the title "our teacher" might indicate a rabbi, or it is more usually used just as a sign of respect for the deceased.

squinting, the second name of his father could be leib, which would fit because it happens to be associated with arye, or it could be a short surname, but it's difficult to read with any certainty.

the date of death could be either 5th or 8th. 8th looks more likely.
