ሽመላ፡ ማርያም፡ When Gäbiyaw and Kasaw disputed about the farm of Ato Abäbä, the family judge was Yǝbe Solomon. The witnesses were Aduñña Gäbǝre and Ato Getahun Färädä. May the priest bless this decision [?]. They agreed for Kassaw to take this year’s harvest and leave the land. It is written in 1932, year of mercy, Miyazya, in the year of John, [the Evangelist]. The disputant, Kassaw, agreed that the document will stay in the hand of Gäbiyaw. And the witnesses were present. The scribe is Mäkwanǝnt Wändǝm Agäñähu of Šǝmäla Maryam -
