In behalf of Harri Kosmala I am asking how to trace the named Kozlowskis in the document.

Hello!
What an interesting document! Where did you find it?
I skimmed through it a bit (can give you more of a complete translation if needed), but it discusses nobility of the Kozlowsky family in Smolensk.
It references a nobility book (you can read more about those on this link https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%94%D0%B2%D0%BE%D1%80%D1%8F%D0%BD%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%BE%D1%81%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D0%BA%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B3%D0%B0 The webpage is in Russian, but you can use google translate to help you read it), part 6, and some specific pages (39, 61, 62, 263, 275). There is some other information there, but I'm not sure what the abbreviations stand for.
As far as next steps in research go, check out this Wiki article about the Kozlowsky noble name: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9A%D0%BE%D0%B7%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B2%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%B5
Here are some nobility sources for Smolensk:

Beyond that, you will probably want to rely upon metrical records. Looks like those are not available online, but are in the archives of Smolensk. You can find an inventory of fond 48 where the metrical books are held here: https://disk.yandex.com/d/x_7rEN3i3aXdiE

The older gentleman I am trying to help out is related to these fellows in the document. He has some documents, but others where lost over the years. Thank you for these interesting clues, I'll start following the rabbit holes..
