5. Groom, status, occupation, birthplace: Moricz Hafer, Szapony_, Szandetz Galicia
Parents, status, residence: Marton Hafer, Szandetz
Residence and house number: Keretsen No 70
Age 25, single
Bride, birthplace: Pepi Roth, Keretsen
Parents, status, residence: Marton Roth, Keretsen
Residence and house number: Keretsen No 70
Age 20, single
Wedding date: July 17
Wedding place: Keretsen
Witnesses and officiant: Abraham Vinkler

Positionally, "Szapony[_]" (can't even figure out if there's another letter there or not) should be the groom's status or occupation, so it may be an attempt at _szappanos_ (which had an older/dialectal form of _szappanyos_) "soap-maker" or "soap-dealer" (literally "with soap, soapy").

Again positionally, "Szandetz" ought to be a place in Galicia, but the Allgemeines Verzeichnis (https://digi.landesbibliothek.at/viewer/image/AC03177788/2/LOG_0002/) isn't coughing up anything like it for me. JewishGen's Town Finder suggests Nowy Sącz, Poland, which has Neu-Sandez, Újszandec, Naya Sandets, Sandets, and Sandec among its possible names.

Keretsen is an archaic spelling of Kerecseny, which -- based on the company it's keeping -- has to be Tisza-Kerecsény in Bereg county, and not the Kerecseny in Zala county. The place in Bereg is now Tiszakerecseny in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg.
