This is the whole half page in the 1795 Husiatyn census where Moszko Lewita(s) appears, for context. I would like to understand what the comment on the right-hand side says (previous uploads contained magnified images of the row and of that comment only)

2/7/2026 8:25 PM I wonder if it might be Kosher 'libations'. It's in the column for 'winnik', which is winemaker, and the first word looks like 'Kaszer' to me, although the image is very blurry. The second word seems to be 'Libestowany', which DeepTranslate suggests could mean 'libated'.
