    Comment
    This is from Das Wüstenland, a history of a parish in Oldenburg. The quotation comes from a 1275 revenue register of the count and would be in low German. Could this mean something like, "This is the product of the Wüstenland: 8-piece Ammer[landisches] butter"?

    No, it's eighteen buckets of butter.

    Zum Vergleich modernes Niederländisch: ... achttien emmer boter.
