„Persons (different given names)” means: different combinations of a given name with a byname, not persons proved to have existed. Two namesakes from one family merge here into a single item, and the acts give nothing to tell them apart. An entry naming several families stands beside each of them — because the record names them together, and they must not be separated.

Caveat. The node “Maciej Modrzewski” also takes in entries 251, 2007, 2051, in which the source does not call him anyone’s father — a namesake of his may have appeared there. This does not undermine the filiation, but the source does not confirm that these acts belong to him.

Caveat. One of the 1 filiations in this fragment links people who do not appear together in any act — the identification rests on a cognomen or on the mother’s given name. The node “Stanisław Modrzewski” also takes in entry 117, in which the source does not call him anyone’s father — a namesake of his may have appeared there. This does not undermine the filiation, but the source does not confirm that these acts belong to him.

notes and marginalia The entry with the largest number of persons in this part of the register: on the side giving the quittance there appear more than a dozen persons from three related families (the Modrzewski, the Jastrzębski, the Jasiński), on the side quitted a widow with her sons, the Radzikowski.

Franciszek and Elżbieta Modrzewski, husband and wife, their parents, who by reason of infirmity cannot come before the present records, and also of the noble (Nob.) Marcin Modrzewski, who enters into this matter, for whose ratification they stand surety — on the one side, and the noble (Nob.) Andrzej Radzikowski, in his own name and in the name of the nobles (Nob.) Jan and Wojciech Radzikowski, his sons, for whom he stands surety, on the other side, being of sound mind and body, deposed and acknowledged that mutually and reciprocally they give a quittance to one another and to their successors – for the suits and actions mutually lodged with the present office on account of whatsoever claims and acts of violence, and at last brought before the arbitration court by virtue of the inscriptions made by the parties; further for the protestations, the relations, the decrees and the whole and entire process, as also for all and each of the claims which they had against one another up to this day — and this by reason of the amicable settlement concluded between them at the act of the compromise and of the composition (komplanacja) drawn up to that end.

Further, the said magnificent (Magn.) Modrzewski give a quittance to the nobles (Nob.) Radzikowski for the sum of eighty Polish złoty together with the penalty obtained, adjudged to them by a decree of the arbitration court issued upon the ground of the estate of Modrzew on the Monday [the vigil of] the feast of St Andrew the Apostle in the year just past, and lodged with the records of the present office by way of oblation, and now taken up from the hands of the nobles (Nob.) Radzikowski by the magnificent (Magn.) [Grzegorz] Modrzewski, and especially by the noble (Nob.) Antoni, also in the interest of the noble (Nob.) Marcin Modrzewski; and the relations, the protestations, the condemnations and the enforcement clause of that same decree of the arbitration court they cancel.

[Autograph signature:] A. Modrzewski

notes and marginalia The entry passes from scan 57-038 (f. 37r) to 57-039 (f. 37v); it is joined into one item. A rarely noted ground for the absence of a party: the parents of the deponents „z powodu niedołęstwa do akt przybyć nie mogą” (debilitas). The matter passed from the castle court before **an arbitration court**, which came down upon the ground of the estate of Modrzew and issued its decree there; thereafter it was brought into the castle court by oblation. The formula of the date of the decree („feria secunda … Festi S. Andreae Apostoli”) does not agree by reckoning with 30 November 1743 (a Saturday); the Mondays nearby were 25 November and 2 December 1743 – the discrepancy has been noted, not removed. The Antoni Modrzewski who signs is the same person who in entry 1257 appears as subdelegate of the office.

notes and marginalia The entry passes from scan 57-048 (f. 46r) to 57-049 (f. 46v); it is joined into one item. **The longest description of a field layout in the whole year 1744**: sixteen separate pieces of arable, gardens and meadows, enumerated one after another by the baulks, with part of the ground already lying in mortgage with the donee. The description of the field layout has been copied out again from the manuscript (scans 57-048 and 57-049): seventeen separate pieces, enumerated one after another by the baulks. At that revision three places of the earlier redaction were corrected – item 11 has in the manuscript „N.lis Basilij Borkowski”, not the Izdebski; item 12 „Sortis Lubomszczyzna dictae”, not „schedy przymiarkowej”; item 8 „Sortis dictae Szostkowizna”, not „Kostkowizna”.
