Translation Anton Metz baptism #2
Right across the page of Johann Anthoni (a translation request I just sent) is a second Johann Anthoni ---same father name and different wife. (I am finding many children records with the father Johann Georg Metz with wife anna Magdalena and a wife Anna Christina. ) So I guess that means there are two men with the same name.
Which is the closet date of birth to the record of death for Anton Metz translated earlier today-- (Greifenstein, on the 23rd of September [1777] Johann Anton Metz died and was buried on the 25th, age 76 years, 4 weeks, and 4 days --date calculated as 22 August 1701,

Thank you for bringing my attention to the cross symbol. I found this death record and it seems to be the same child. Please confirm. The year is 1705 death 11 April --age 2 years 5 months

Yes, this appears to be the same child. The age at death matches with his birth date.
On 11 April [1705] the blessed deceased Johann Anthonius, little son of Johann George Metz [died] and was subsequently buried per Christian custom. Age 2 years, 5 months.
Comment: It's not clear to me if the date "11 Apr" is the death date or the burial date; I treated it as a death date.
