Tax record translation

This is the beginning year of Erik Svensson showing up on the tax for Hårlogsbyn, Holm, Älvsborg, Sweden. Can you tell where he came from? Could that Sven Jacobsson be related to him?

The word before Erik Swensson's name is "dr(äng) = farmhand/bachelor", so I would think there is probably not a relationship with Swen Jacobsson.

The note for Erik Swensson in the right-hand column looks to read "från Amot Bolstad Sn (Socken?) panna(?) från Skåkerud Erstad (Erikstad) S(oken)?".

That would translate to something like "from Amot Bolstad parish(?) household(?) from Skåkerud Erikstad parish?".

I am not really sure about the word "panna = household".

Holm, Erikstad and Bolstad parishes are all pretty close together in Älvsborg county. See map here: https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/%C3%84lvsborg_County,_Sweden_Genealogy

Thank you. Later I found that a his daughter, at least family search connects her to him, also lived there when she died in 1809.
