Hello, would it be possible to get some help on the underlined words in the matter of the marriage certificate for Johannes Wrobel and Maria Berska, Number 50, please? I can get all the other words, but these are difficult for me to ascertain. Thank you for any assistance you can offer.

Thanks so much. I see I also can't understand the very last word either.

Could those words be diener und knechts all scrunched together or something similar to that?

Dominialknecht

Latin Dominium -
Knecht - servant, someone working for the gentry

Could have been a stableboy, farm worker etc.
