Hello @TrishAndersen,
Here's what I think it might say:
On the 21st of the previous month and year Catharina Margaretha, Johann Martin Walpracht?'s [daughter]?, was baptized in Greiffenthal.

Your thoughts please--This record was found in Dilheim-she was taken to Greifenstein for baptism--(there is no record in Greifestein that I could find) -so no complete record of the birth and baptism. May not even be the family i am researching either .
I am attaching the previous record-could you clarify the month. The year would be 1738 . Thank you much

Hello @TrishAndersen,
This is an odd record as is record no. 31 on the preceding page. This is what I can read for record no. 31: Jacob Tannenbaum's legitimate daughter was the child _________________? [then I read the names "Johannes" near the bottom edge of the page].
The preceding month is December 1738. So the child Catharina Margaretha at the top of the next page would have been baptized on 21 Dec 1738.
Note that Catharina Margaretha was baptized in Greiffenthal not Greiffenstein. These are two separate and distinct villages.
Here is the link for Greiffenthal from Meyers Gazetteer: https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/10617018
Click on the "Ecclesiastical" link in the gray bar at the top of the page and you will note that the Protestant parish for Greiffenthal is Giehren and the Catholic parish in Friedeberg.
And finally, as you noted, this may not be the family you are researching.

I noticed Greiffenthal on meyersgaz you sent and realized it was a different village. Thank you for educating me lol. I am just going to place this record aside and see if another record comes to surface to tie in.

That sounds like a good plan, Trish.
