Name of town needed
This is a marriage record from Schwarzach, Baden, FHL # 8101304, image 39, page 10; for Caspar Deiler and Anna Rengert, July 1666, righthand side of the page about half way down. It mentions Caspar's father, Joannis Deiler from ____________ Switzerland. If anyone has a clue what town it is, it is most appreciated. I've tried many different combinations and need a fresh set of eyes.
Thank you.

Thanks for you feedback Christine,
To me it looks like Ri_hausen and then after that aus den _rzeuamblenns ditionis Helvetica. I think it translate something like a town in a district/area of Switzerland. Not sure about any of that though. I've been looking at it for days now.

"ditionis Helveticae" means something like Swiss rule, Swiss sovereignty, maybe even Swiss subject?
Note that also in the records above the terms "ditionis Austriacae", Austrian rule, and "ditionis Helveticae" are used.
Not clear to me if this refers to the place names.

@Kathy Blanchard_1 If I parse each letter it looks like "Riehensee". So it could be "Richensee" as @hehesani63 suggests or could it possibly refer to "Riehen"? (though I don't know why the "see" would be added to the name) Riehen is certainly closer geographically.
This is wild speculation but I wonder if the term used for the district that the town is stated to be in has something to do with the area where the borders of France, Germany and Switzerland meet. It reads to me like it could be something like "Dreyenämbteren" (though I really cannot figure out the first letter) which is gibberish but seems to start with "three". Riehen is very close to the Dreiländereck.

It appears to be Richensee auf den Freÿen Ämbteren"

Thank you JohnsonGreg, Ulrich Neitzel and hehesani63!
Now that I've been looking at it, I can see that. I will give a try and see what happens. Thank you again for your time and expertise.

You are welcome. I enjoy puzzles. I edited my post at the same time as you were posting to add a link about Freÿen Ämbteren. It provides some nice history about Richensee and the Freÿen Ämbteren/ Freie Ämter.
