I should clarify Rick is correct, it was record at 2pm. My response was in regards to the numerical adjective he wasn't sure of. I can't be positive myself, but it clearly begins with an "E", appears to have compact "r" next, and I'm fairly certain the next letter is an "s". the last letter really doesn't look like the rest of this writer's "t"s, but it's still possible it is a "t". Hence I conclude it looks like "erst". I'm fairly certain the next word is "uhren" and not the expected "Uhr", and no other indicator of morning, afternoon, or night in this part. Both factors which I think support the conclusion the first word it "first" and the translation to "first watches".
