Without an extract for 1775 — no card of this village carries that tariff. It is a missing extract in the card index, not a gap in the numbering of the cards.

The card-index entries

Every extract for this locality in the wording of the cards, year by year. One block is one occurrence: this person, in this year. At a collective item the same card text stands beside every person named — because the card names them together and they must not be separated. The hearths given at a collective item are an equal division among those named, not a reading.

T8918 hearths1 inn, 17 cottagesT89 — przyległość Sarnowa, Józefa Szlubowskiego podstarosty Krasnostaw. Karcz., 16 chat. o 1 gosp., 1 chat. z ogrodem = 18 d.card 1)
The whole village as an appurtenance of Sarnów, not a holding. Unlike Gąska (card), there is here neither a manor house nor a brewery: 1 inn + 16 cottages + 1 cottage = 18 d., in agreement with the underlined „= 18 d.” and with the totals of T90 and T94. The title is written „podstarosty Krasnostaw.” (on the Gąska card the same man has „podstarośćy krasnostaw.”); the expansion „podstarosta krasnostawski” is editorial. The figure „1” in „o 1 gosp.” is heavily corrected with the pen — just as on card [reading uncertain as to the corrected figure; the reckoning 1+16+1=18 confirms it]. The end of the line has been reworked: the original navy-blue „o gr. bez gruntu ogr.” was struck out with a horizontal stroke, and above it there was added in black ink the sign „z” (over the „o”) together with the ending „odem”, which gives „1 chat. z ogrodem”. The superscribed sign can also be read as the figure „2” („1 chat. o 2 ogrodem”), but that reading is ungrammatical [reading uncertain]. The reckoning of the hearths does not depend on this correction.

The siglum with a distinct zero subscript („T₀89”) — a list of possessors for 1789, without hearths. The abbreviation of the office is written „vicestar.”, the first letter like a „v” — just as on the Gąska card (card); the expansion („vicestar[osty] krasnostaw[skiego]”) is editorial [reading uncertain as to the v/w]. The last word, in the second line, I read „propinacyą” (the instrumental, an older spelling); „propinacją” is also possible [reading uncertain].

After the siglum „T90 –” the card gives no name of the village; the line begins with a formula referring to the Sarnów estate. The figure 18 is underlined (the section's own total). The word „wsi” after „Do” is written thickly, the pen went over it twice — this is a correction by the author, not a striking out [reading uncertain]. „miecznika” I read as on the Gąska card (card): after „mie” stands a round „c”, then „z”, and only further on „nika”; at this resolution „miernika” is also possible [reading uncertain]. The card index writes „woyskowego” without diacritics — the wording is rendered literally.
