Transcription help needed with 29 September 1750 christening of Ole Kolbentsen Knaben, Fjotland, Ves
Left page, 1st column, 2nd from last entry, christened 29 September 1750. Need help with the names of the witnesses. "Atlak Ols(ens) Førlansaasens qw(inne). Ole Ols(en)..." but what follows on the last line? It begins with "Salve..."

It looks like it could be "Salmelien Ole Elling Knabrius qwin". There is a farm "Almelien" in Holum (Holme) parish but I don't know where the "S" would fit into that (unless it could designate S[ør] Almelien?).
Hope you are doing well.

Hei, Bro. Ekenes!
I see this is in the "Unanswered Questions", but I answered it a few days ago-or at least I thought I did. Perhaps I forgot to click "Post Comment". Any way, I will try again.
My answer was basically that the word appears to me to be "Salmelien". There is a farm "Almelien" in a nearby parish (Holum-Holme) parish and that may (possibly?) have something to do with the "Salve..." that your question begins with. I am not sure how Alemelien could morph into Salmelien (unless perhaps it was, somehow, Sør Almelien (or something like that). Just a thought.
The last line of the entry appears to be "Salmelien Ole Elling Knabrius qvin",

I found it! Salmeli is a farm in Kvinesdal, Vest-Agder. Thanks so much for your help! and, yes, we are fine. Hope all is well with you.

Also, it is "Ole Elling Knabens qvin". Thanks again. Sometimes it takes several looks and more than one set of eyes. Best Wishes, Bro. Ekenes.
