Dear reader, remember that this is an AI study, that it may contain errors; treat it as indicative and verify it for yourself.
„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.

The Latin *Matthias* and *Matthaeus* stand in the genitive (that is, in the position of the father's name) and in this hand are practically indistinguishable — **Mathiae** against **Mathaei** — so both mentions may concern one and the same name. **The readings have not been harmonised**; see the note „Matthias czy Matthaeus” in the sheet „O źródle i metodzie”.

notes and marginalia An entry with numerous corrections: the first name of the deponent's father was corrected from „Stanisława” to „Jana”; „Woyciechowskich conjugum” was written above the line; the original name of the village was struck out and „Klembów” entered. In the margin a note bearing the date 1743 (largely illegible). The title „Ensifer Terrae Praesentis” (sword-bearer of the Łuków land) is here borne by Roch Antoni Klembowski, whereas in entry no. 330 that same title was read beside Krzysztof Jezierski – a discrepancy in the source, recorded without being resolved.

Katarzyna Klembowska, the aunt of her parent, by way of a simple debt before the present records on the Monday next after the feast of the holy Apostles Peter and Paul in the Year of Our Lord 1710 [the reading of the year uncertain], and fallen to her after the death of the late noble (Nob.)

notes and marginalia The clerk's note: „Ignara personae litterarum” – the deponent (a woman) cannot write. The year of the inscription is read with uncertainty (elsewhere in the register – entry no. 378 – the same inscription is dated in like manner, and the figures of the year are likewise uncertain). The formula „the Monday next after SS Peter and Paul” requires a year in which 29 June fell on a Sunday; the years 1698 and 1710 come into consideration.

notes and marginalia Beneath the entry an autograph signature: „Rochus Ant. Klembowski, Ensifer Terrae Łucoviensis” – proof that in 1743 the sword-bearer of the Łuków land was Roch Antoni Klembowski. The entry is a continuation of the matter of entries nos 346–348. The figures of the year of the original inscription are illegible; the formula of the day requires a year in which 29 June fell on a Sunday (1698 or 1710).

The difference of titulature is notable: Wierzchowski – Nobilis, the Domańskis – Generosi.

notes and marginalia A discrepancy with the PTG tag: the tag gives „Maciej Wierzechowski Janowicz”, while the manuscript writes „Mattheus” (Mateusz). The reading of the manuscript has been adopted. The date of 1736 does not close: 1 February 1736 (the vigil of the Purification) fell on a Wednesday, and the Tuesday is 31 January 1736 – the formula is written in an abbreviated form, and the conversion is uncertain. In the left-hand margin of f. 129v there is a later note with the date 1765 („interes Wierzchowski…”), partly legible. The village of Wierzchowiny agrees with the tag.

He consented to intromission forthwith, governing himself by the common law, and this under a penalty of twelve Polish złoty, for which he appoints the present court.
notes and marginalia The date of the inscription cited has been reckoned: the Thursday after Cantate Sunday 1729 = 19 May 1729 (a Thursday) – it agrees. The operative verb in the manuscript is „cedit”, but since the cessionary is the widow of the debtor, the act has in practice the effect of a quittance; the wording about the taking up of the sum („per se quietem levata”) has been read with uncertainty. The lowest sum in this part (12 złp) – an inscription fifteen years old, closed only now. The persons and the village agree with the PTG tags for scan 57-020.
