„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.

In this chancery the abbreviation **„ol.” (olim)** is written as an „o” with a struck-through stem and deceptively resembles „et”; the grammatical case decides it — the genitive with „filio” means **„synowi [kogoś]”** (to the son of someone), not „i synowi” (and to the son). The direction of the filiation is confirmed by entries 251, 406, 864 and 2007 („Fabian Chromiński, son of the late Maciej”). The pattern was checked against the manuscript: entry 246 (scan 56-043, „Antonio Domaszowski … **Casimiri filio**”) and entry 302 (scan 56-051, „Stephano Jasienski **ol. N. Pauli filio**”).

localities in the entry the village of Bzów; the place called Nasadyniec [uncertain reading]; the Rzążew boundary; the Karczewskie boundaries [uncertain reading]

Monday after Misericordia Sunday, in the Year of Our Lord 1744.

The nobles (Nob.) […] Borkowski and Katarzyna, wife of the noble (Nob.) Władysław Modrzewski – son and daughter begotten of the late noble (Nob.) Kazimierz Borkowski with the late noble (Nob.) Elżbieta née Rzążewska, daughter of the late noble (Nob.) Marcin Rzążewski, the noble (Nob.) Katarzyna née Borkowska Modrzewska acting with the assistance of her husband – freely deposed and acknowledged that to the well-born (Gen.) Andrzej Józef, of two given names, [Jaszowski] and Anna née Rzążewska, husband and wife, and to their successors they give and donate their hereditary estate, devolved upon them after the death of the late noble (Nob.) Marcin Rzążewski, their grandfather, that is three strips of arable in the place called Nasadyniec [uncertain reading], beginning at the Rzążew boundary and running towards the Karczewskie boundaries [uncertain reading], between the baulks of those same donees on both sides, lying in the hereditary village of Bzów, with everything. They consented to intromission forthwith, governing themselves by the common law, and this under the land-law damages, for which they appoint the present court.

notes and marginalia The entry passes from scan 57-050 (f. 48r) to 57-051 (f. 48v); it is joined into one item. The donee bears **two given names** („Andreas Josephus binominis”), which the clerk marked outright – a rarity in this register. The village of **Bzów** agrees with the PTG place tag for scan 57-051; the same village occurs in entry 1170, where the name was read with uncertainty – the reading has been confirmed on this basis. The given name of the donatrix's brother is broken off at the spine of the binding.
