Ovadia's signature appears, but I can't read the rest. I would be very happy to decipher it.

6/26/2026 8:22 AM I see עובדיה שמואל קימלמאן Obadiah Shmuel Kimmelman. And maybe two people whose last name is Rubner. It would help to see the entire record, as these people were probably the witnesses mentioned in the text.
It’s not Hebrew or Yiddish. It’s just signatures I think.

Ovadia Shmuel Kimelman B'Oshpitzi Rabuni (Rabbi in Oshpitzin) Sop (Stub) Rabuni and Dayan (Rabbi and Dayan)

The last line in Polish underneath says ..Stzpia Rabina Stub/Sub religious Dayan
