What do these numbers mean on the death record?

I'm researching Mårten Abrahamsson of Enkullen in the Grangarde Parish. I've found his death record here: https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0012669_00163#?c=&m=&s=&cv=162&xywh=34%2C-217%2C8553%2C5712. Are these number relating to his age. Something like 33 years, 10 months, 1 day? 14? Does anyone know the first and last word of that line? He's on the right side of the page about 2/3 of the way down. I believe he's listed as March 23 death? Thank you for your help.

    The word in front of his name is "Bergm" which is abbreviated. Berg means mountain. I suspect the word is abbreviated for Bergmästere which is a mine master but without more context I am not 100% sure what the priest meant. After his name I think the priest wrote "af Jäll" meaning of Jäll which I guess is a local place. His age is given in years, months, weeks, and then days.
