     Nos Semovitus Dei gratia dux totius terrae Masouiae notum facimus universis, tam praesentibus, quam futuris, praesentium litterarum notitiam habituris, quod quamvis certae et verae graniciae fuerant et erant habitae et servatae inter villam ecclesiae. Msczonouiensis Gsdowo et inter villam nostram dictam Zathor usque ad vadum, vulgariter Brod, antiquum ibidem in Zathor, prout clarius cl[eri]ci, viri bonae et honestae famae de vicinia ipsorum iuramento declaraverunt, tamen cum domino Martino plebano Msczonouiensi in hunc modum pro eisdem graniciis concordavimus ita, videlicet, quod idem dominus Martinus agros inter praedictum antiquum vadum et inter granicias novas, circa publicam stratam iacentes nobis dimisit ad villam praedic­tam Zathor pertinere et adiacere, quamvis iidem agri ad Gsdowo adiacebant et pertinebant.
