It says "He bought 10 English for self-ownership 1696" as far as I can make out. Self-ownership is a term in Norwegian used in connection with such things as appartments where you can self-own or group-own in a "borettslag". In both cases, you have posession of the appartment, but in the latter, you don't have complete privelages to do as you like with it. Marianne
