Hello,
The words are "Angesehener Kaufman[n] allhir," which would mean "respected merchant here."

I will add that when submitting images for translation/analysis, it is usually a good idea to add the whole page, including the column headers, both for context and so that the translator can compare the same handwriting in other places. I am confident as to these individual words, but it is difficult for me to consider their implications without seeing their location in the larger record.
