I am reading the first words at 'Mirt dießem' in this 1578 Strasbourg baptism record, as shown across other records with the same and referring to the date given in the preceding record. This should mean something like 'same day', but I cannot find it in dictionaries. Also, do you agree with seÿffensu?der as seiffenseider? Thanks!

@Tom Randolph

I agree with your interpretation that the first two words mean "on the same day", but I can't read the first word. "Mirt" is not a German word that I know.

I agree also that the profession of Martin Dostz is "seyffensieder".

I wonder if the words are "Mitt diesem" - an old spelling. Then it would make sense to say that the child was baptized with the one mentioned in the previous record, i.e. on the same day.

@sylviaelchinger1. Thanks! That makes sense. There are several instances of its use in this particular register and it sometimes looks like it could be interpreted as Mitt, but other times more like Mirt. But Mitt certainly works!
