Mark12_30 gave the correct source.

On the great slab of white stone were deeply graven these runes:

BALIN (Balin)
FUNDINUL (Son of Fundin)
UZBAD (Lord) KHAZADDÚMU (of Moria)

At the bottom of the inscribed slab, were these runes (They translate directly into English):

*BALINSONOFFUNDINLORDOFMORIA*

-------------------------------------------------------------

The words, 'Here lies', were not engraved on the slab.
