What is going on with Hannss Seyler?
It looks like Hannss Seyler might have been involved in an accident according to the heading in the enclosed attachment but the entry that cites him doesn't make sense to me. What is it saying about Hannss?
In the attachment, I have enclosed the entry in a yellow rectangle. Otherwise, if you use the link, my question is on the right hand side about 1/3 of the page down and #4.

According to Ernest Thode's German-English Genealogical Dictionary, the Latin word "accidentia" means "fees (for pastoral acts such as performing marriages, etc.)"--so it is a false cognate; that is, it doesn't mean "accidents."
That said, I see the following in this section of the record:
Die Accidintia sind folgende.
In Mundingen.
Erstlichen befindet sich d. Etter, und Zwar folgender maß.
- Werth [or Worth], und grünen(?) gärten, von den Allmond unten an, biß an Michäel Nürlin und Michel Weickh Wittib, Toyn(?), und Hannß Seyler.
I can't figure it all out, but I take it to mean something like this:
The fees are the following.
In Mundingen.
First of all is the border,* which is measured as follows.
- Value(?)** and green garden, from Allmond*** below, all the way to Michäel Nürlin and Michel Weickh's widow, Toyn(?),**** and Hannß Seyler.*****
* Etter means the borders/enclosure of a place, especially the borders of the village and field area, and the properties located within (see https://woerterbuchnetz.de/?sigle=Adelung&lemid=E02286#0).
** Or: elevated or enclosed ground, farmstead, house site for someone whose farm or house is on a higher ground or enclosed property (see https://www.namenforschung.net/dfd/woerterbuch/liste/?tx_dfd_names%5bname%5d=84426&tx_dfd_names%5baction%5d=show&tx_dfd_names%5bcontroller%5d=Names).
*** Allmond came up as "plot" one time while I was trying to figure out the translation online. Mostly it comes up as a surname, however, so it likely means that the land borders that of a Mr. Allmond.
**** This abbreviated word is seen again four lines later. It may mean something like "land," "field," "forest," etc.
***** It sounds like it's describing the dimensions of a plot of land by listing the names of the land owners whose properties surround it.

Well done @Charlotte Noelle Champenois !
I think "Allmond" can actually be "Allmend" which is a term describing the jointly used land in a village community, see German Wikipedia: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allmende
